Can anyone translate this signature and tell me anything about this WW2 Officer Sword? Thanks in advance!

Can anyone identify this signature or tell me more about this WW2 Officer Sword? I greatly appreciate it!

Can anyone help with my last question? Thank you for your time.

I have read you can make choji by mixing in a very small amount of clove oil (for smell) with mineral oil. I am personally planning to just using mineral oil if that is ok...

Thank you so much!

I'm a noob and was wondering the best way to maintain a WW2 Officer Sword. I am sure you should oil the blade every now and then- what kind of oil should I use? Also, any other maintenance practices I should follow? Thanks in advance!

I am also trying to translate the painted characters. I cant make out the top character, but so far I believe it reads (from top to bottom): ? 5 6 9 1 What do these numbers mean? I am sure there is a Seki stamp that isnt pictured, so are those numbers just a "serial number" type thing from the seki forge? Let me know what you all think! Thanks again for your time and help!

Thank you! After your help I looked further into it and I have found other sites which have confirmed that signature to be Fujii Kaneoto. This is my first sword and the start of my military sword collection. Thank you again. If anyone else has additional info on this smith it would be greatly appreciated.

Can anyone help me ID this? I will try to post a better picture when I get it. Thank you in advance!
