Anyone familiar with this hot stamp?

[Toryu2020]

I believe this is read Kazutada 一忠 - there is a Taisho era smith listed using this name. Anyone seen this before?

Any help appreciated,

Isn't this like the stamp I posted a few days ago and was reported as a typical Chinese sword

Only an opinion

Hmm looks a little different Grev. I'm not sure.

Could you show more from the blade and the nakago?

Thomas,

I too would like to see more of the blade, and the nakago.

Thomas,

Doesn't look like you're following this thread, so the quote should send you a message.

 

These hotstamps usually mirror the smith's name.  Do you have a photo of the mei and the nakago?

Markus Sesko lists a Showa era smith working in Dewa signing 羽州住 一忠 “Ushu ju Kazutada”. Civilian name Takada Gosaku.

As noted - I did find the one Kazutada in the meikan - pretty sure this is him but was hoping someone had seen one of his works. Apologies, I do not have pictures of the blade or of course I would have posted them...

Thomas, and John!  Nick Komiya at Warrelics said it could be what you say - Kazutada - and Guy found the same reference in Sesko's book.
