Translation help, please ...

[docliss]

I appear to have developed a ‘block’ over the translation of these tsuba kanji: 古 金 工. Can anybody help me, please?

 

With grateful thanks, John L.

My guess, ko-kinko.

[Bugyotsuji]

Reading, or translation? Translation would be

ancient/old metal artisans
