Katana which I could use some help with translation. Just came in today

Another one for @mecox to add to Japanese Naval Swords and for @Bruce Pennington to ponder a large Seki stamp on a 1944 dated blade.  Good luck to you both!

関 = Seki (stamp).

大道 =Daidō.

Red paint: 二八六七 = 2867.

昭和一九年 = 1944.

Green paint: イ四二 = I 42 (I as in the letter i).

 

@Eds, does any of the parts have a stamped number on them that match the above two numbers?

In the meantime, I don't know if this helps.

 

Hard to tell exactly what these markings are.  Some look like katakana characters such as タ and ヘ.
