Dear Stan!
Here one more sword (katana). Inscriptions on both sides. It seems to me, that it not names (or not names only), but confidences are not present. Pleace, help me with translation once again.
On one of sides the inscription is read not so well, therefore I also apply the certificate where these inscriptions are reproduced on a paper.
Best Regards, Oliver
