赤城軒 行年六十二才 "Sekijoken Tougu Gyounen rokujuunisai". This mark is from a kozuka, which is the hilt of a small, secondary knife. It was made by Motozane, who worked as a sword engraver (soukenkinkou) in Hitachi Province (present-day Ibaraki Prefecture). Soukenkinkou is the Japanese name for metalworkers who design accessories for bladed weapons.
