Ichibun, Kanenao

1st one:
Partial is "ICHIBUN", see ICH27.

2nd one:
It is "ISHIHARA KANENAO", probably KAN1733, with a SEKI stamp.

Pete

excellent example

Thank you Pete much appreciated.
Both smiths are not highly rated, but they are excellent condition and example of ww2 Naval Officers issue.
thanks again Andy
