Surrender Tag Translation

[jeep44]

I posted this in the wrong forum before, but here is the surrender tag on a sword I picked up today.Any help would be greatly appreciated!

The two far left lines look like the location and the name of the owner

所有者福囗囗（眺？）

西原源

 

Shoyūsha Fuku ? ?

Nishihara Gen

 

 

Owner: Fuku something-something

Nishihara Gen (personal name)

 

I don't know the significance of the 眺 kanji. At looks like it ought to be part of the person's name, but somehow it doesn't fit as a name. 

The location name starts with 福. The second kanji looks like 弓 and the third I would guess is 町, but there is no such location as 福弓町. It might be some shorthand version of 福島県 (Fukushima Prefecture) but that is starting to stretch credibility both from a handwriting perspective and a context perspective.

Actually, looks more like a price tag than a surrender tag.

If I'm not mistaken the first line is a price 

 

囗囗金六百五拾円也　650 yen

無名

 

～650 yen

mumei

 

If you could change the angle to get a better shot of those first two kanji, it might help.

I agree with with Steve, that this does not look like a surrender tag. A pawn marker, maybe?

Maybe these photos will help?

you would think a price tag might have been removed when purchased, or at least not put on in such a way that seems to make it sort of permanent.. strange
