Kozuka identification

[nihon]

I'm am new to this website, recently got my first nihonto from aoi Japan. The koshirae has a kozuka with a signature so I'm curious about the maker and the age. Sorry for bad pic quality

The blade part is called a kogatana. Yours says Shizu Saburō Fujiwara Kaneuji.

Check out the thread that was just posted recently...it has a kogatana with the same/similar signature, and provides a bit more context.
