Big thank you to both of you! I really couldn't find those last few kanji - although I did have 子地 in my earlier tries, I switched to る地 because it seemed a better fit.
As you both undoubtedly know - you're real credits to this forum! I'll make a small donation in your honor.

You’re very welcome, Dirk.

That’s very kind of you - I’m sure Brian will greatly appreciate it!

[Brian]

I do...thanks guys!

You did very well Dirk!  Shakudo nanako ji is a very common phrase on fittings hakogaki.
