WWII Japanese writing in holster

[mkite93]

Hi, I'm looking for some help translating the writing inside the flap of a wwii Japanese type 14 holster that is in my collection. I have been interested in knowing what it says and if I can research it some. I was pointed to this forum any help with it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Thank you very much for translating that for me. Is Shimizu where he was from or is that something else. Thanks I'm very happy to know what it says.

It's most likely the commander's name.

was the nambu in the holster? I see 1782 wounder if it would match the nambu

There seems to be a faint digit at the right end. The number would be 5 digits; 12827.

17827 that would be cool if it is a match.
