Thats a good lead re Yasuki steel.  This toshi is Shinoda Hiroshi Ujifusa.   In 1942 list he is Chu saku.

Following Piers suggestion...."Aki no go"  should be read as "Yasuki (or Yasugi) no go"   which is Yasuki No. 2.   This seems to have been steel made in Shimane where there were traditionally used satetsu, and in the early war various Seki toshi used it (e.g. Kanemichi).  Ujifusa wrote the kanji but later they used a kokuin hot stamp.   The following site has some good history, and the different types of steel.  Hitachi was formed in 1937 by companies merging.
