Bruno:

Not sure if it is the case here, however I know some other smiths would include their age at the time they made the blade. Does that fit in with the date?

Yes John,

 

This Kozuka was made when Noriyuki (2nd generation) was 76. Knowing he died at 82 in 1852, in deduction the kozuka was made in 1846.

 

Thank you

 

Bruno
