A Bit Of Help If I May

[Chriso]

Hi all, I'm wondering if anyone can help me identify the school that this Tsuba may be from, I'm lead to believe that it shows KIKU (chrysanthemum) and may be from the Edo period. Quite broad i know

 

Cheers and best Chris

Sunagawa school is also very similar but a bit more finer as this Tsuba is.
