Translation assistance needed

[Samurai_Kevin]

Wondering if anyone can tell me anything about the maker of this sword. And possibly the year it was made. Thanks in advance 

[uwe]

I think it is “富田備中守橘康廣” (Tomita Bitchū no Kami Tachibana Yasuhiro).

[Samurai_Kevin]

Could anyone tell me about the make and maybe when the sword was made, and maybe it’s value?

If translation is correct, from Markus Seskos book, last Kanji is different:

YASUHIRO (康広), 1st gen., Kanbun (寛文, 1661-1673), Settsu –

“Bitchū no Kami Tachibana Yasuhiro”

(備中守橘康広), “Kishū-jū Yasuhiro” (紀州住安広), “Tomita Gorōzaemon no Jō Yasuhiro” (富田五郎左衛門尉

康広), Ōsaka-Ishidō school, real name Tomita Gorōzaemon (富田五郎左衛門), he came originally from Ōmi and was

the second son of Tosa Shōgen Tameyasu (土佐将監為康), he signed his name in early years with the characters (安広),

later he moved to Ōsaka and founded there the Ōsaka-Ishidō school, he worked in the Ichimonji style, i.e. in chōji with a

midare-utsuri, but also blades with a tōranba in ko-nie-deki with many nie and a wide nioiguchi are extant, he also worked in

Yamashiro province, wazamono, chūjō-saku

YASUHIRO (康広), 2nd gen., Jōkyō (貞享, 1684-1688), Settsu –

“Bitchū no Kami Tachibana Yasuhiro”

(備中守橘康広), Ōsaka-Ishidō school, real name Tomita Sō´emon (富田惣右衛門), he also carved a chrysanthemum

or a chrysanthemum on a branch onto his tangs and worked in the style of his father, the 1st gen. Yasuhiro, chūjō-saku

YASUHIRO (康広), 3rd gen., Kyōhō (享保, 1716-1736), Settsu –

“Bitchū no Kami Tachibana Yasuhiro”

(備中守橘康広), Ōsaka-Ishidō school, only few blades are extant by him, it is said that he too carved a chrysanthemum

onto his tangs

 

Value depends on condition and papers.

SAMURAI Kevin,

I hope for you the blade is not lying on rocks.......

The NAKAGO patina looks strange to me in that photo. What is its colour in reality?

[Samurai_Kevin]

It is a grey color. And no sir it is sitting on a cloth. The blade is in the case. 

[ROKUJURO]

Thank you Kevin!

On the photo, I had the impression the background was rocks, and the NAKAGO looks de-patinated.
