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

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
