Help with partial mei on suriage wakizashi

[RobCarter3]

This is one of several inherited swords that a friend showed me a few days ago.  I told him I'd work on getting translations for the mei, but my limited skills are not up to the task for this one.  The sword is a suriage shinogi zukuri wakazashi in "attic" condition -- neglected, totally out of polish and with surface rust, but not unsaveable.  In late Edo mismatched koshirae.  Sugata looks muromachi to me.  Unfortunately I don't have any other specs or pictures, but I can ask the owner. 

 

I got 三? 守?   Mi/San-something? Moriie? (守家) Morimune? (森宗) Moritoshi? (盛寿)

 

Thank you for the help!

Thank you very much!  Could the last partial kanji be Yasuteru?  Robert Cole's Shoshin book lists Katsushige (Enpo), Nobunao (Tensho), Nobunao (Keicho), Nobunao (Kanei), Sadasuke (Kanei), and Yasuteru/Daimichi (Kanei) as smiths who signed with this title.  Or am I at a dead end?

The closest I could find was TAKE (see below) but did not see a match for smiths with this title. Take does not seem totally correct but I don't know offhand of anything closer.
