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 🤔 Quote
kyushukairu Posted November 14, 2024 Report Posted November 14, 2024 I agree with Ron. The kanji on the left look like 'Bushū jū' (武刕住) The second character on the right may be '~shige' (?重) 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
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
