Help With Shin-Gunto Mei. Is this KANEMASA?

[tbonesullivan]

So, I was staring at this for a while, thinking that it looked like KANE MASA - 兼 正, with the more 'stylized' MASA I usually see on the late war Katanas. This is an arsenal forged Rinji Seikishi, dated 1945 on the other side.

 

After looking around, it looks like the characters are actually 兼 征, one of the alternate forms of MASA, which I haven't seen before.

 

Any help would be very appreciated!

Thanks so much! I wonder if this is the same Kaneyuki that usually signed 兼 行.
