Hello,

Please help to translate the mei.

I think it is:
Geishu Ju Fujiwara Kiyofusa 芸州住藤原清房

Am I right?

Seller declare it as Late Kamakura period ca. 1320 era. Konio school.

Thank you.

Best regards,
Victor

I have newly started to collect Japanese swords, I found this wakizashi at pawn shop and need help determining when this sword was made and if I have the correct smith.
This wakizashi is 20.5" long. 15/16" to 3/4" wide.
