Well, I'm only partly blind after staring at the screen and kanji lists, so that's a good thing. It's a katana, 27 3/4 inch blade, fair polish, with a semi visible HAMON. Date and signature are somewhat faded, but this is what I came up with.

 

Signature: BI SHU OSA? FUNE?  HISA MITSU.   備 州 長?  船 ? 久 光

 

Date: Dai-ei Era Second year: 1522  8th month : 大永 二 年 八 月

 

I found a listing for a Bishi Osafune Hisamitsu

I am going to assume this is the correct smith, though I'm really iffy on one of those kanji. However, the date is exactly what it should be for that smith.  I'm getting slightly better with the simple kanji.
