I realise you're 'down under' but that's not really a good reason to post these images upside down. I think I just put my neck out! :glee:

 

Judging from the style I'd say Brian's call is on the money. Pretty good Omori look to these and, despite the slightly out of focus images, I'd say fairly good quality.

 

I see no reason in the workmanship to think the mei is false.

I did not want to open a new thread and preferred to "refresh" this old one to show my new purchase of a kozuka signed  ichimudo Terutatsu 一夢堂英辰

Just to mention that Terukatsu was the adopted son of Terutatsu and both where students of Terumasa.

 

I am quite surprised by the change of style where this kozuka does not show the usual Omori deep carvings but just a light shishiabori.
