bishū osafune norimitsu?

[student]

Howdy,

 

Here's another recently ended auction:

I am not the buyer nor seller. I was just hoping someone might be able to confirm or correct my translation of the mei. Whether it's likely gimei or matches the sword is a whole other question and I don't think the photos are enough to go by. Just trying to translate as many signatures as I can for practice.
