The signature on the Tsuba is hard to read. Hope one of you can help me.

Thanks in advance.

Thank you very much Steve. That's really impressive. Personally, I thought it would be impossible to read.

Regards, Ed

Steve is that good,

and it is somewhat of a common signature from a certain school.

Once you got 金 you can infer the 家, and then the rest falls into place even if only a few strokes here and there are discernable.

But I'll take the compliments!

You have gotten remarkably good Steve - an inspiration for us all!
