So after some cursory research, I found examples that bear a resemblance to the sword in my possession. It appears that the inscription, based on these other examples may be "Wakasa no Kami Ujifusa" but in an abbreviated form. The issue is, this is a very notable and old smith who worked in the Tensho era. Likely forgery then? Attached are two examples of his signature from other blades, and the version on mine again for reference.

Thank you, I really appreciate your help.

Wow, thank you so much. I really appreciate the info. The cut does look sloppy in my absolutely amateur opinion, far less neat then other signatures I've seen on this forum. Would you have any recommendations on how to find out more about this Ujifusa?

Hi Everyone, I'm very new to this and would really appreciate some translation assistance. This sword is from WWII and I'm very curious as to what it says. I apologize but I cannot seem to figure out how to tilt the image properly, but the beginning of the inscription should be on the right side of the image. Thank you so much, Michael N
