DTM72 Posted January 14 Report Posted January 14 Some of these I get, some I cannot find. Thanks in advance! Shi ju roku ? hachi ju ichi ? So 46 ? 81 ? Quote
DTM72 Posted January 14 Author Report Posted January 14 Second of three parts, need a double check please. Mei ji ni ju nen ku gastu September of 1887 Quote
DTM72 Posted January 14 Author Report Posted January 14 Last part Kuni Yama ?? Can’t guess the last one. Plus, this part doesn’t make sense to me. Thanks for everything! Quote
Shugyosha Posted January 14 Report Posted January 14 Hi Dan, Top one is a registration number - 4 10 6 100 8 10 1 - last kanji is 番 ban being "number". Middle one: Yes, I think you have this right. Last one, maybe Okayama ken: 岡山縣 - this version of "ken" is the old kanji for "prefecture". I'm not confident about the "Oka" as the kanji on the gun looks like it is the complete enclosure but it might just be that the enclosed part is dropped down to make it look like that. 1 1 Quote
Peter Bleed Posted January 14 Report Posted January 14 Actually, it would be 1888, wouldn't it? Peter Quote
Shugyosha Posted January 14 Report Posted January 14 Start with 1868, add on 20, take one off? I thought that there was always a year lost when converting to the western calendar so Dan would be correct with 1887, but I always stand ready to be corrected... Quote

DTM72 Posted January 15 Author Report Posted January 15 1868 is year 1 of Meiji, like @Shugyosha mentioned so 1868 + 20 -1 =1887 Thanks for everything guys! 1 Quote
