元年申冬　行年七十翁　遊洛斎赤文 "Gannen saru fuyu Gyounen nanajuu okina Yuurakusai Sekibun". This mark is from a fuchi and was made by Sekibun, who worked as a sword engraver (soukenkinkou) in Dewa Province (present-day Fukushima Prefecture). Soukenkinkou is the Japanese name for metalworkers who design accessories for bladed weapons. A fuchi is a ferrule that is placed between the tsuba and a sword's hilt.
