Help with identifying who this smith might be on suriage wakizashi

[JAMJ]

Hi all,

If my limited ability to translate serves me right the mei on this suriage wakizashi reads, "Tsutsui etchu (no) kami /".  I did a little digging and thought it might be Shinto Yamato Kanemori.  It's in very old polish so the features aren't standing out.  Any thoughts on this?

Also is it just as likely that suriage are performed on gimei as much as on authentic signatures? Thanks

Looks like a Yamato Monju school smith signed with this

Might be Terukuni

Hi Matt, I think we're along the same lines as far as school. The signature style does not match Terukuni and why I thought it might be this guy:

But that's just a stab in the dark because I have not seen any swords signed by him. Thanks
