Translation assistance would be appeciated.

Hello all,

 

Was wondering if anyone would be good enough to offer some translation assistance with this tang from a Shingunto. It appears to be out of polish but has a cloudy hamon and could be traditionally made even with the seki arsenal stamp (?).

 

Also, I have attached a picture in the link below, of the Tsuba which also bears four stamps and I havent seen these before on shingunto tsuba (???)

 

Any help or comment in due course would be appreciated.

It reads “Noshu Jū Ido Hidetoshi saku kore”.....if I’m not wrong!

 

....oops, Tom beaten me!

Amazing, thanks Tom C and Uwe for your very quick response. I will research the smith and see what I can find.

 

Hopefully someone may know something about the meaning of those stamps on the Tsuba.
