Help Reading Mei

[Edward G]

The attached pictures are from a Katana Tang of a Shin-Gunto.  Please help with the reading of it.   It appears the last two characters might be Yori Masa.  However, I am having difficulty with the rest of it, and I do not think this is not an old, old blade from the Muromachi or earlier period.

 

Thanks

I believe this is Hattori Tantosho Yorimasa. This would be WWII era work. My understanding is that Enomoto Sadayoshi used this mei when he was producing standard gunto.
