Old Sword Mei

Looks like a very interesting piece which may be early. Second kanji definitely appears to be toki. The first kanji is not Sada, but reminds me of the off-balance way that Ayanokoji Sadatoshi and Sadayoshi signed their mei. Whatever it reads, this name has an old look.

 

Good luck with this one. Certainly looks intriguing and worth pursuing.

The attached is a mei for Aoe Moritsugu. Notice the way MORI is executed. This particular sword appears in both Fujishiro and the Nihonto Zuikan.

 

EDIT. Looking at this a bit more, I am going to suggest Ietoki. There were three Ietoki working during the Kamakura period, including one Mogusa smith.
