Hi Peter,

I can read 賀州住藤原長次 (kashū ju fujiwara nagatsugu).

which one?

Hi Stan and all,
i posted this 1 a while back but which 'NAG' is it?
i thought it was NAG461 but can find no such listing on the NC database, might sell it on ,
Thanks for the help

Hi Peter, It would be NAG474.

Hi Peter,

It would be NAG474. NAG461 is Nagatoshi, at least in my edition of Hawley.

Regards,
Stan
