I've posted a pic of the text from a tsuba that was picked up some time back, with the hope that one of you may be able to translate it for me. I have my suspisions that it is gimei but I guess I need to have it confirmed.

 

Cheers and thanks

It reads: Hikone ju Soten saku

 

The mei does not look very good by comparison. Soten fittings were copied in masses, and the quality of them was poor. It would be good to examine the work before relegating it to the junk drawer, just to be sure.

Thanks very much Ted. I've had a bit of feedback, both good and bad in reference to the quality of this one, so I will take the advice and look at it in more detail before before writing it off/

 

Cheers Chris
