Mei translation help needed

[Khy]

Hurts to give up... but I'm stumped. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Looks like fake Japanese writing. Possible to get a look at the sword?

I agree with Steve, a few pictures of the blade may help solve the issue

 

My best guess is 藩林重大(?), which doesn't make much sense in context. 

 

                                          Kind Regards

Thank you.

 

That would not surprise me. It came with a small collection of what I assumed were unfinished blades, and was the odd man out so to speak. (a few rough from the anvil, another saw the first stages of polish... etc). There was actually no mention of the signature, and was just more of a "huh?!" when I saw it.
