Question on mei

[Ken-Hawaii]

I bought a wakizashi from a fellow sword club member who needed some extra cash & who said that the mei reads "Echizen no Kami Fujiwara Kunisada." But looking a bit more closely, the mei appears to read "Echizen no daijou Minamoto Kunisada." Can one of you experts please clarify the Kanji? http://img607.imageshack.us/img607/5325 ... izashi.jpg

 

Mahalo! (Thanks!)

I misunderstood the point.

From the Hawley's

 

I'm wonder if it could be the sandai ?

[Geraint]

Moriyama san;

" He had his signature "Echizen- Daijo Minamoto Kunisada", too ", does appear to suggest that the same man used both signatures, is this a mistranslation?

The seller says that the "Echizen-Daijo Minamoto Kunisada" worked around Genroku era. That means he must be the 2nd gen.

 

I could not find any information about Echizen no kami minamoto Kunisada, either.
