Hello,

I would like to request help translating the kanji on the tang from a Japanese sword. I included a picture below. Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks very much for your help with my continued requests. I greatly appreciate it.

Matt

I think its probably trying to be 廣次 (Hirotsugu).
Many fakes out there, so proceed with extreme caution.
