Translation for sword tang

[Remka]

Hello everyone,

I need your help to translate the signature and the date on this tang, can you help me?

Best regards.

[GHP]

First sword:
昭和二十年四月
Showa 20, April

祐國
Sukekuni


—Guy

[GHP]

Second sword:

昭和二十年三月
Showa 20, March

I can’t read the second kanji in the name:

信*
Nobu*

—Guy

[BruceP]

And that’s 1945 on both, in case you aren’t familiar with the dating system.

Thank you all for your answers.

I was not sure it was a 12 or a 20 for the date.

Best regards.
