Kanji Translation Please....Wakizashi

[UKGirlGermanLife]

Good afternoon People,

I am looking for a Kanji translation. I have to hand a Wakizashi with Tsuba and Saya. Sorry if i spelt incorrectly or used the incorrect names.

I have photos to show of just the Handle. I had to touch-up the photo's to show the Kanji clearly.

And i am also looking for a book that contains Japanase combat experiences from a soldiers point of view.

近江守藤原継廣　Tsuguhiro Ouminokami Fujiwara is the name, but it doesn't look anything like it should from what I see on the net. I'll leave the rest to the sword guys and just give you a comparison.
You are looking for a WW2 book?
