I just picked this up, & am trying to figure out which school it is. Looks brass or bronze, but actually steel.
Oddball Heianjo?

Dear Ken.
Nice find! I don't think Heianjo as the inlay is wrong for them. You do see this sort of gold work on some Bushu tsuba, though usually rather more of it, http://onlinecollect...4-e173c233df60 and on radiating line iron tsuba.
Enjoy!
All the best.

I would go with shoami imo, it's very common for this school to use nunome inlay and textures

Hi Ken,
actually I've posted just pics from my NBTHK tsuba database. In my collection I have 3 tsuba quite related to yours, I believe they are Shōami, but unfortunately no certification to prove my feelings.
