Hello

Is anyone able to help me?

I am sorry about the quality of the photos; I will try and get better ones next weekend if they can not be decyphered.

I think the signature is Yoshihiro, or at least the bladesmith's name element is Yoshihiro.

I have two photos of the signature as one is slightly better at the end.

It was me that added the text "Bishu Yoshihiro" to show which part I am talking about.

The date I have real problems with!!

Thank you if you can help

Pieter

What you have as Yoshihiro is Fujiwara. The picture with 4 Kanji reads Bizen Osafune. The signature on the Fuchi reads Munenaga with a Kao (personal seal). I can't read anything else because the photos are poorly lit and too grainy. Try a slanted (raking) light to make the Kanji show better.
