Kanji ? Shigefusa Kitaeji

[Nick112]

Hello

Can you guys take a look at the kanji of this Shigefusa Kitaeji, manufacturing year/date: unknown. It is a 240 mm wa gyuto. The kanji doesn’t look like other newer Shigefusas, and it looks like the kanji is closer to the handle than others.
Thanks

The kanji doesn’t look like other newer Shigefusas...

what do you mean by that?

looks right to me but I don't own many of them so I might be wrong.

Looks identical to one of mine, from a few years ago.

Looks legit to me. I've written an article about Shig kanji a couple years ago for reference..
