Happy Holidays everyone. I can make out one character as 10 but not the rest. Any Ideas?

bullpuppy,

 

The smith name is "Kanenori". The other one is the date when it made. Please reverse the pictures up again. Kanjis are read from top down but the pictures are not necessary to turn upside down in order to read

One more time. Too much egg nog I guess. Pictures are reposted.

[Nobody]

The date reads Showa ju roku (or hachi) nen ju ......LOST (昭和十六(or 八)年十......). It may be Oct., Nov., or Dec. in 1941 (or 1943).

 

The name of the smith is Kanenori (兼則) as QuangD already reads.
