明珎豊後守 = Myōchin Bungo no kami

 

Myōchin is a famous group/line of metalworkers. Bungo no kami means lord/governor of Bungo province, which was located in present-day Kyūshū. In this case "Lord" would be an honorific title - one given out for merit (for example) and not necessarily meaning the person had any political authority (sort of like OBE). No idea of date...

Whole Mei reads "Myochin Bungo no Kami Fujiwara Munetaka saku". Can't finde a matching guy from the Myochin line in the records. But the golden underlaid Mei points towards late Edo, IMHO.
This assumption will rule out all other Munetaka except of Yabushi Munetaka. A pupil of Himeji Myochin Muneakira. Izumi, late Edo period. Hope that helps a bit.
More pictures please ;-)
