DAY Posted November 13, 2024 Report Posted November 13, 2024 Hoping the the more expert eyes can translate this signature . All I have been able to get is the Take in the upper right. Thanks in advance, David  Quote
Ron M Posted November 13, 2024 Report Posted November 13, 2024 Looks like top two on right are Bu Shu, maybe ð€Â Quote
kyushukairu Posted November 14, 2024 Report Posted November 14, 2024 I agree with Ron. The kanji on the left look like 'BushÅ« jÅ«' (æŠåäœ) The second character on the right may be '~shige' (?é) Quote
DAY Posted November 14, 2024 Author Report Posted November 14, 2024  I forgot that mei is read right to left. newb mistake. Have played around with more raking light and completely missed the Shu. Day off today , I'll see what can be pulled from the left side. Thanks again , David  Quote
DAY Posted November 14, 2024 Author Report Posted November 14, 2024 Left side is a tad more rough than the right. Thanks again for moving this forward, David Quote
kyushukairu Posted November 16, 2024 Report Posted November 16, 2024 Could be 'Harushige' (æ¥é) Quote
DAY Posted November 16, 2024 Author Report Posted November 16, 2024 Posting the tsuba here for reference. Ogasawara clan kamon. 69mm w x73mm high.  Thanks for the information. Onward with researching, David. Quote
ROKUJURO Posted November 17, 2024 Report Posted November 17, 2024 It is not a MEI in my eyes. Someone - probably not the TSUBAKO - scratched some characters into the metal. Useless attempt to add a signature. Quote
