Red inscriptions

[uwe]

Hi gent's,

 

I have my difficulties with these both:

 

 

Last character might be "助", or similar. But that's all I can grab so far....

 

 

 

In the right column "小" and "長" might be involved?! The left column could be "岩井与左衛門" (Iwai Yozaemon), but I'm not convinced because the third kanji gives me headaches...

 

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

My wild guesses

 

源枝之助　Something like this. 之 is almost certainly wrong. 

 

泰良　　　　　Taira? Yasuyoshi?

岩井戈右衛門　Iwai Saiemon (?) I feel the 井 is wrong, but its the best I can come up with. 

 

[BANGBANGSAN]

源汥丈助？

奈良 Nara

岩井安右衛門  Iwai Yasuemen ？

Thanks a lot you both 🙏

 

I will try to research the first one, cos I’m still struggling to read it…..

For the second, Nara makes sense (Iwai branches were based there). But I couldn’t find neither a Saiemon nor a Yasuemon at first glance…🤔
