Help with Mei On Sword
I am a new user to the site and need help with the mei on a sword I own. To the best of my knowledge it can be attributed to Kanetaka but I am no pro either. I am looking for the opinions of others as to the mei of this sword. Here is a pic of the tang:

Welcome, L.A.
 Someone here may be able to provide a translation for you, but I'll jump in with advice to provide some more photos of the entire sword, including close-ups of the blade if you want some real opinions. Where did you come by this sword? |

I believe the mei reads:
Noshu Seki ju Kanetaka A WW II period smith from Seki City in Noshu Province. Rich S The Japanese Sword Index http://www.geocities.com/alchemyst/nihonto.htm |
