Hello!

I have an antique Maebiki Oga saw which I use quite often. These saws where used by the "Kobiki Shokunin", or Sawyers in Japan a long time ago. I have trouble identifying the signature of the blacksmith engraved on the blade, any help would be greatly appreciated to read these kanji.

Thank you very much for your time!

JA

The inscription is too worn out to decipher. The only recognizable kanji is 正; the second one in the right column. The third and fourth one could be 中 and 東, respectively.
