I spoke with Roger, and he said, gimei gimei gimei!.  I have Roger's book, and the only generation that I found that may have signed using only these characters was the 9th generation.  THere is one rough picture of a mei and Roger's caption is "rare".   I don't know, maybe someone else here has more information.  To me, in hand, the mei seemed well cut and overall quality of the sword above average.

James, I have some Hizento from the nidai down to a WW2 Hizento and have seen numerous others including Shodai.  I do like the look of your wakizashi - the nakago is well-shaped, the yasurime well-executed (note the very slight upslant reminiscent of the sandai Mutsu no Kami) and the mei well-chiselled as you observed.  From what I can see of the hamon it appears to be of good, consistent quality. I agree with your "above average" call and if I had it I would get this into the hands of a top polisher for a window and opinion...

 

BaZZa.
