I’m “afraid” that is a question of taste… The craftsmanship of both are of high to excellent quality. Ietada is said to be the founder of the school, hence earlier. But it is possible that his, as also the name Iesada, might be applied to more than one generation. What do you mean with “matching menpō”?

“中島政安”, as Ray said!

Habaki looks good 😊

Place is a prefecture/ city in north Kyūshū. The first character is a bit “freely executed”…

“宗峯子” “高房” [Hmm…Sōhō shi (ko) Takafusa?]. 宗峯 can also be read as Munetaka, so I’m not sure…

During the Edo period the "竹村家" (Takemura family) used this mon. Allegdely descendants of Kusunoki Masashige from Takeuchi in Yamato...

Yes, made to revive an earlier style…late Edo? The partial too uniform rivet heads inside make me doubt. Try the mixture, it’s a good idea!
-
No eyebrows, Lewis These split shank rivets are for fastening the shinodare. I stick on my opinion for the time being, Edo period “revival” piece!

To be precise, it reads “Kusunoki Tamonbei Masashige” The maker is allegedly “Gorō Nyūdō Masamune” and it’s dated first year Genroku (1331), witch is a “tad” optimistic, IMHO…
