hi,

Not sure what you looking for, maybe you should also read some books. I recommend koto-shi, shinto-shi, shinshinto-shi (last two also written in german) . For 1,6m yen you can get some very nice swords,
It seems you like Shoshu/Mino-den, you can find a lot of in shinto.
Hi,
before you buy online, i would advise to visit the Japan Art Fair (https://www.japanartfair.com) . There are a lot of Dealers from around the world and you can have a look on the blades in real.

Thanks for your explanation, i was confused because the Showa Masayoshi would be the 8th Generation. The 3rd Generation worked until Mejin, let say until 1870 for easier math and the Showa Masayoshi worked till end of war 1945. So this would be 5 Generation in 75 years. So it would be about every 15 years a new Smith Generation.
Thanks
Oli
