I'm not a huge militaria buff, but there is not a lot to translate there - just some marks which probably relate to place of manufacture.
一八 means 18
京 "Kyo". Probably means the item was produced in a Kyoto workshop or arsenal.
大 in circle - The character 大 means "big", but this just looks again like some manufacturer's mark. Maybe an Ōsaka arsenal, since it contains the first character for Ōsaka. 大阪
The other brand/mark I can't make out.
