Dirk -
Need a clear photo or good rubbing (oshigata) before even thinking about translation. Can't make out anything from the drawing. Sorry.

It's definitely part of the sword smith's signature (mei), but has been partially cut off (suriage) and is too rusted that I can't translate what is left. Sorry I can't be of more help.
