I would say it looks like a late Muromachi Mino work. 
What made you think it is Oei Bizen or Soshu, maybe I miss something. 
 

I see kani no te and togari in the hamon in my opinion.

Its hard to be certain but I would doubt koto attribution, though its a possibility. Wide, heavy looking blade with very uniform curvature and no taper does not sit well with early Muromachi.

Jigane is relatively featureless, hamon is plasticky as if drawn by hand and more or less the same when shot from every angle... I would vote for Ishido, early shinto and not the top name in the school.

Togari can be seen on Oei Bizen works

I would expect a brighter Hamon from an oei Bizen sword but this this relays on the polish and picture quality. 
After reading Rivkins post and looking at the blade again I think it could be also a possibility. 
After we all see crab claws I think we can say it is at least not older then late Muromachi.
