Translation help please

[Pippo]

Tang on a civilian blade, translation help please.

[uwe]

Let's start with the date:

"正徳甲午仲秋" (Shôtoku Kinoe Uma Chûshû = 15th day of 8th lunar month 1714 )...the rest might be "成物之時". Not sure about the right reading (finished at special time maybe???).

 

Left column without warranty: "真丸煉作之"

....Edit:  forgot the translation, "Shin maruku neri kore o saku".

 

...waiting to be corrected

 

 

之 corrected by the suggestion of Jan!

the rest might be "成物久時"

 

It's 成物之時, which I'd translate to "time of production".

 

The bit on the left reads 真丸煉作之.  Looking at this Yasukuni blade which uses a very similar format, I suspect that it's a continuation of what's written on the other side of the nakago, so "[Musashi Tarō Yasukuni] made this using the true round-forging technique".

"之" makes sense. Thanks, Jan!
