sword identification

Hello all!!

Some friends posted an image of a sword on facebook, the sword was handed down from a father to son to son, the Sword was brought to the United states from japan, after WWII. The person in ownership of the sword would like to know what the writing says on it. Can anyone help me translate this?

Masayuki

Daniel,

The signature reads:

豊州住藤原正行
Hōshū ju Fujiwara Masayuki

[made by] Masayuki, from Bungo.

It may be this Masayuki.

Stan
