Was hoping for input from Mr. Bruce

Stephen,

I can't read mei .... what am I seeing here?  I searched the kanji you translated and it leads to Kokura Army Arsenal discussion.  Is this mei saying "Kokura Army Arsenal"??????

 

I've seen two blades with sword shop mei, but I don't think I've ever seen this, if that is what it's saying!

Below is the breakdown for you.

小倉陸軍造兵廠 = 小倉 Kokura 陸軍 Rikugun 造兵廠 Zōheishō = Kokura Army Arsenal.
