Lots of folks here will be able to help. If you cannot post a photo then type the word on the forum. You can also go to Google's translator. If the word is Cyrillic, or in Arabic script or Japanese, etc, then a photo would be best. Many here can tell you how to post photos.
Thanks, it's in Japanese so I think it must be a photo but I can't find where to attach a photo and I it won't let me copy and paste. Hopefully someone can help.
If you don't get a response soon you might try over on j-aircraft. They have several posters who are familiar with period Japanese characters.
