help with a tanto mei

[Gunome]

Hello,

 

Excepted the Ju, I cannot identify the other kanji of this mei on a Koto tanto.

Too tricky for me due to bad condition of the nakago. Also the strokes are thin.

Does anyone has an idea on the mei ?

 

Thanks

I am not sure, but it could be 三原住政宗 (or 家?) – Mihara ju Masamune (or Masaie?).

[ROKUJURO]

To me, it strongly looks as if a MEI was erased by filing down the NAKAGO. In an attempt to add a new MEI, this was done very amateurishly. The last KANJI looks somewhat like SUKE 右 to me.

Hello,

 

Thanks for your replies

For me, no issue on the nakago, it is ubu and looks consistent with the blade.

The color difference is just the shadow because I have the light in my back when I taken the photos.
