Hi Erwin,

 

尾州住川 添?? [  ]広.

 

Well it definitely begins with "Bishū (Owari) ju kawa". Maybe Kawazoe but I'm not sure and I can't make out the next kanji and it ends with "hiro". I can't find anyone signing this way in Markus Sesko's Japanese Swordsmiths but maybe someone with sharper eyes can help.

 

Best regards,

John

I think it's Bishu ju Kawazoe Teruhiro

尾州住川添輝広
