Help Please!

"Seki" is as far as I can get!

 

And any chance this means something?

 

Thanks guys!

I fear I gave someone a terrible headache,

関住人各務行直作
 

back could be 為より in cursive.

Not my field, I myself can't help further.

Bruce,

the smith's name might be YUKIMICHI, but the photo is at an angle which is not helpful for reading. I am sure the experts can read all of it, even the single KANJI on the URA. 

If you have the possibility, please make photos of the NAKAGO on a dark background, directly from above, with the light from the side.

Yukimichi with the alternative michi!  Thanks guys!

 

Sorry, these are photos from an auction site, so the only one's available.

I thought so.

The MEI looks like  行 道 to me, so a standard 'MICHI'.

I agree with your reading for the mei.

関住人各務行直作 – Seki junin Kagami/Kagamu Yukinao saku

 

One kanji on the back side might be 弟 – younger brother. I am not sure.

Ura side: might it be 義岡 or 義国?

It seems that there are two kanji, though it might just be my novice eyes.

Again, thanks guys!  I was bothered by the small stroke at the left base of the second kanji, but after seeing Moriyama-sans post, I checked Sesko.  He uses this, and it matches (wow, when I copy and paste, it changes the kanji to 行直)  I'm taking a screenshot and posting it.
