John C Posted June 11, 2023 Report Posted June 11, 2023 Hello: I'm not one of the translators so take with a grain of salt but I think it reads Ando Kanemoto saku kore. WW2 smith. Looks like some civilian fittings have been added. John C. 1 Quote

ROKUJURO Posted June 12, 2023 Report Posted June 12, 2023 To make reading the signature more comfortable, you could position the NAKAGO photo tip-upwards and also post it in the "translation" section. Quote
Matsunoki Posted June 12, 2023 Report Posted June 12, 2023 Howzat? Simon, you can move it to translation. Quote
jaxmon Posted June 12, 2023 Author Report Posted June 12, 2023 Thank you very much. I will do it 😄 Quote
