I've tried a translation app with some success on the clear large text, but when it's used on the handwritten 'cursive' Japanesetext, it can't make head or tails of it....
Ironically, the white English translation companion NTHK document to the main Japanese document (that should be notorized in English I believe) has also unfortunately been written in Japanese shorthand that I really can't make much headway with!
I know the Samurai is fitted in Type 98 IJA furniture and the blade dates from 1850 ISH, Kari era and it's regarded as an important blade (70 points NTHK ranking)
It's fitted with an original Field grade officers knot/tassle and was captured in Burma.Information
