Default Guys, please help with katana tang translation

Guys,
Hello, sorry to bother you with this.
I'm not a collector or dealer of japanese sword.
Doing this as a favor for a friend who got this sword along with some old guns from his vet grandpa.

Could somebody please help translate the tang.
I'm including a good picture of the tang and some pics of the sword. Sorry about the poor pic quality it was a quickie shoot.

Thank you guys in advance, I really really appreciate it
Aleksey

Aleksey, as a note, you may have already been told, I don't know but having had a Seki made Naval Katana read for me some time back, the little transformer looking face is the Seki seal/mark part and the actual script on the tang is the rest of the translation. Seki smiths made great blades in the scheme of things, my translation I was told was rather rare and humerous one that in English said "Against Saki Alcholics"
