Help Needed With Mei

[b.hennick]

Thanks for taking the time to look at this mei. I am trying to help someone who has been patient with me over the last while. Like many of you, family obligations, new computer yada yada all have worked against me finding the time to have this rise to the top of my todo list. I do appreciate your help.

I guess the first one would be

 

備後国??横山祐成作 - Bingo no Kuni ?? Yokoyama Sukenari saku

 

other side

 

備前友成???? - Bizen Tomonari ???? , I believe it might have something to do with him promoting himself as 56th generation Tomonari.
