translation help (Yoritaka..?)

[cisco-san]

Hello,

 

a well known eBay seller is currently selling a blade signed with:

Hattori Tantosho saku 服部鍛刀所作, Hattori Yoritaka kore sotsuba 服部頼隆之埣刃 and dated Showa Jukyu-nen Fujihana tsuki (May,1944) 昭和十九年藤花月

 

I have no plan to bid on it, I am just curious (even the blade looks not so bad).

I can´t find any "Yoritaka". Therefore I would kindly ask if the translation is wrong (but it seems right from my point of view)  or if somebody has information about this smith. I am also not sure about his description - it is known that Enomoto Yoshiichi signed signed Sadayoshi and I think sometimes  with Yoriyoshi as well, but I can´t find any information that he signed with Yoritaka... but of course I could be wrong.

 

Here the link to the auction:

Many thanks in advance

Klaus

I have my doubts about 藤花月. I think it isn't 藤 , but I can't figure it out.

It is Sakura (桜).
