Yokoyama Sukehisa Saku Kore
This was made by Yokoyama Sukehisa
安政五年二月日
Ansei 5th year [1859], a day in February
Signature matches this one:
Sukehisa
Yukoyama Sukehisa belonged from Yokoyama Sukekane school,
then his style is the same to Sukekane. considering that, Sukehisa must made for his teacher.

Gentlemen I spoke to my uncle last night and relayed all the information given so far. He was more that happy with what information has been given so far. It was difficult enough to get the pics from him, he doesn’t email, send text, or photos from his phone or any computer. Very old school. My Aunty has to forward the pics. He said to thank you guys very much for the information and help given here. He appreciates it a lot, and me too. You are a great bunch of guys and allways a pleasure to deal with. Our thanks, Johnno and Jimmy.

I found one other katana signed Yokoyama Sukehisa Saku Kore on the web and made in the same year, 1859.
I'm no expert on signatures but the kanji style and carving look like a match to me. This one is mounted in civilian koshirae.
It sold for 380,000 yen which is about 3500 dollars but having NBTHK papers obviously increases the value.
