Translation help


Recommended Posts

Hi, my name is Mike. I am new to the forum and new to the world of swords. After getting burned from a gun show shin gunto I spent more money and bought one from Griffin militaria. This one should be legit. I was wondering if anyone knows what the markings say. 

Also another question. The tsuka and tsuba fit extremely tight to the blade but when assembled it seems like it's missing a seppa spacer because the ring that houses the release button does not sit flush and the button becomes stuck in the depressed position. Does it sound like it needs another seppa spacer?  And sorry if the photos suck couldn't get good lighting to make the marks stand out.

Mike,

In case you want help, please take care of the correct orientation
 

-  NAKAGO photos with tip (KISSAKI) always pointing upwards so we can read the inscriptions without breaking the neck

-- no hardware on the blade

-  photos taken directly from above

-  with light from the side

-  well focused

-  against a dark background to get a good contrast

-  presented as cut-out so nothing is distracting from the item
