Translation Help for ' A Series of Fittings ' thread

[Bob M.]

Hi ,

 

Can anybody help with a reading and translation of the inscriptions on this tsuba ?

 

This has just been posted on the 'Series of Fittings ' thread in the Tosogu section.

 

Many Thanks !

It’s “失上光廣” (Yagami Mitsuhiro)

Can’t make out the other side completely. Starts with “長崎國住人(弘).... and ends with...彫之” (Nagasaki no Kuni Jūnin.....Kore o Horu)....

Thanks, both, for your help on this one . The inscription  says , according to Bonhams , -  Nagasaki kuni ju Kounshi kore wo cho - 

 

How would this translate into English ?

 

Regards
