First picture un-papered blade on ebay . Second and third mei from papered blades. Second kanji up from bottom seems to be rounded the lines not as straight.

Hi,

 

Not the same smiths,

 

If i read correctly the first mei reads Wakasa no kami Ujifusa 若狭守氏房 second reads Hida no Kami Fujiwara Ujifusa 飛騨守藤原氏房 third Ujifusa saku 氏房作. Second and third may be the same.

[KORSH]

Here are some scans of the first and second gen. UJIFUSA (Wakasa no kami and Hida no kami)

 

To me, the first Image you posted at least does not match with Wakasa or Hida UJIFUSA

Fisrt "Wakasa" is Gimei.

 

Sencond "Hida no kami" is the first Ujifusa (Mino/Keicho period)

 

Third "Ujifusa" is 2nd generation "Bizen no kami"

a son of the fisrt. (Owari/Kanei period)
