Dear readers, can someone help me translate this mei. The right column says august 1863, but what doe the left one say?

於囗広州小野応需鍛之

Made in (illegible) at the request of Ono. 

 

Ono (小野) is a common surname. The location name should be a location in Japan, but I can't identify it.

Masayoshi (正吉), Keiō (慶応, 1865-1868), Harima – “Ono-han Inoue Masayoshi kore o saku” (小野藩井上 正吉作之), he worked for the Ono fief (小野藩) of Harima province which was ruled by the Hitotsuyanagi family (一柳), masame, togari-gunome-midare….which gives a hint to where it was made

The place name in the first picture where the sword was made is 播磨 - Harima.

The signature in the second picture says 浪速住井上正吉 - Naniwa ju Inoue Masayoshi.
