steelbonnet Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 I have at long last worked up the courage to remove the handle from this sword. As well as the fixing peg the handle was held in place by a brittle resin type of material which I removed with petrol. Below I found what i assume to be Japanese writing on both sides and on the back edge. Can anyone help with translations. GORDON Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed Watson Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Gordon, I am a newbee to this forum, but have had a bit of experience with Japanese Swords. The best place to gain translation of a tang on a Japanese Sword is to post it to the Assistance Section of this website http://www.militaria.co.za/nmb/.. These folks are reliable and it is free. Hope this helps Ed Watson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
