My Japanese is non-existant is there anyone with knowledge that can help? I am looking to confirm it is a Tosuke and that English Steel is reliable, well maintaining. Thanks!

not made by the master himself,but perhaps a modern rendition
The fact that it is stamped in English makes me skeptical that this was made by Tosuke
It's not a Tosuke
Do all tosuke's have the same markings. The 4 at top and the 4 in a line?
Interesting as I have found many website sites that no longer have them in stock. But do say it is a Tosuke.
It is interesting because, what i understand to be the trade mark (on the spine, dont know if thats what it is) is exact with the other that I have found. The engraving on the handle are different from some and same as others. The england steel is the only thing i haven't seen but I have read that he used england steel.. Interesting...
My spanish is a little better than my italian. Where my japanese is non existant. But on an italian shaving forum I found the same blade many times with everything exactly the same. I think I'm gonna take the risk. Maybe just a different version. From towards the end of his life?
The newer blades are made by people that have the rights to the name.
They can be called such.
The older blades made by the master look like this
