Hi - I'd appreciate help with a signature and

[OysterWatcher]

any comments you might have on this piece. My dad has had this bronze tiger statue (http://www.allsculptures.com/tiger-sculptures.php) for about a decade, believes it to be of Meiji period (subject to correction of course) and I can't find the signature anywhere online. Maybe some of your members could be so kind as to help us with any information that they might have?? Thanks in advance! Oh, Tiger is 19" long.

Sorry I couldn't embed the images. Please click on links to see pics!
