Translation help

[JamesH]

Hi,

 

I am having trouble translating this mei. I think the second character is Da and the third is Kane ... am I even close?

 

Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Don't normally attempt these Showa Mei, but I think I am seeing Ueda Kanetada... (there is a distracting scratch, down through the Ta/Da that you correctly mention above).

Hi Piers,

 

Thanks for your response.

 

Good to know my kanji reading is improving at least a little
