Kai-Gunto signed 佐 光 信 光 - Nobumitsu - Incomplete Mei?

This is the tang of a Kai-Gunto with a blade that was refitted, and also had the tang "cleaned" apparently. There isn't much left of the yasurime.

 

So, after staring at this for a while, I can tell that it's signed佐 光 信 光. Should there be more to the mei?   From searching I can see it should be read SA KO NOBU MITSU, but usually there would be a province or Seki mark in front of it.

 

I also don't really think it's that much older than the fittings, but it does look to have been remounted.
