Help with translation

[Haerveu]

I have two blades that I am looking to sell, which I will be happy to provide more information on, should some party be interested.  I have included pictures of their marking, in hopes of gaining assistance in translation.

 

Thank you.

The translation guys will help with that first one.  But the second one is likely a Chinese fake.  It COULD be one of the island-made swords of the war.  Will need more pics of the whole sword and fittings to say more.

Strange...

It seems somebody tried to write  “口住藤原直宗” or maybe “沼田藤原直宗” (Numata Fujiwara Naomune)...hmmm!?

@BANGBANGSAN Is this the same stamp as in the thread below?

Help Requested Identifying Sword Stamp

I think is the same mark,but don't know what is it.I'm thought it could be 悟 or 恒 ，but it maybe Korean character instead of Chinese?

Something like 명 Myeo meaning 明。I don't know...

@Haerveu If the sword is still available, I would like to see pictures of the fittings.

 

@BANGBANGSAN I have three recorded now.  As always, I will keep my eyes open for more examples so that this illusive character can be properly identified.
