Katana_Boutique - Kunimichi?

Dewa Daijyo Fujisawa Kunimichi

February 1656

 

Anybody have any opinion as to the validity of this Mei?  My initial search tells me this would be papered if it were not gimei. 

 

Also, the nakago looks to have been cleaned.

I think I have answered my own question. These papered examples are very different but consistent with each other.

Nakago looks off/cleaned to me. He did have a really long working period and a good number of works so there is likely to be some variation. there was debate about two generations. Here is an example of my TH papered one to compare:

Thank you for the further examples, Chris @cju777.  Now I'm 99.9% positive it's gimei.  There are subtle changes between the real examples (5 of them now) but the mei in question has extreme differences from those, beginning with the first kanji.  Yeah, I also think the nakago has been cleaned.

This blade is dated Meireki 2 which means that Kunimichi was 81 years old (the last known blade of him is from meireki 3), so it could be a daimei. I have my little idea.
