both papers are NBTHK Kicho papers. 

 

the swordsmith is Masamitsu

 

here is an explanation of the papers http://www.nihontocraft.com/japanese_sword_papers.html

 

if you research Masamitsu i bet you can figure out the rest of the sword inscription, it starts with the place/province where he lived

 

hope that gives you a start, have fun, i think it is good to learn
