I would be very grateful for any assistance given in translating the following writing on a shirasaya. I believe the first section to be "Tsuda Echizen Kami Sukehiro" , but I could be mistaken. The rest was beyond what I could find in my books. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

The third frame gives you the length.
