Type 98 Shin-Gunto Mei - 金 近 Kanechika? 金丸 Kanemaru?

Yep, another Type 98 Shin-gunto I spent way too much time staring at.

 

The first character looks familiar to me, but the closest I could find was 奥 , which is OKU or would usually be part of 奥州 OSHU

 

The second character however is definitely not 州, but looks to be either  心 (SHIN) or possibly 必 , but the second doesn't seem to be used in MEI

 

The only character I'm (relatively) sure on is that the fourth one is 金  (KANE or KIN)

 

From what I can find regarding showa smiths,  I found references to 金丸 Kanemaru and 金 近 Kanechika, but that second character doesn't look like either.
