Looking for help translating the Nakago

[Koltira]

Just acquired a new nihonto, but can not identify what the kanji says. Its located on the other side from Mei, might be the date

Could someone assist? Any help is appreciated!

It's the name given to the sword. 

囗龍丸   (something-ryūmaru)

 

Ryū means "dragon", and the "maru" indicates the word is meant as a name. I can't read the first character. There was a famous sword with the name of 飛龍丸 (Hiryūmaru - flying dragon). The first character in this inscription doesn't look like 飛, though. 

 

Possible to get a look at the other side? 

 

Edit: Maybe 雲龍丸 (Unryūmaru - Cloud dragon).

Thanks for a quick reply! 
Sounds really interesting though 

Here is the other side:

Dear Koltira.

 

You didn't ask for a translation of this side so I presume you already have it as Tsuda Echizen no kami Sukehiro?  At least there will be quite a few papered examples to compare with yours.

 

All the best.
