Good Morning,

 

I need help in translation this mei and date of what I believe is a Shinto blade.

Hard to see, but I believe its

 

藤田近江守藤原継平  Fujita Ōmi-no-kami Fujiwara Tsuguhira

安永四乙未年            An’ei 4 (1775)
秋八月日 　              Autumn, 8th month

加黄金鍛之               Forged with gold added

 

I think this sword has appeared in one of the Japanese shops  before, and according to the shop's description this smith straddled both the shintō and shin-shintō eras, and this particular sword would be shin-shintō.
