Joe,

the photos are upside-down.

This looks a bit like the sad remains of a rustic iron SUKASHI TSUBA with some  traits of KYO-SHOAMI school (I don't say it is KYO-SHOAMI). It is heavily corroded, and the 'treatment ' on the one side did not improve the appearance. On both sides, the soft metal application (I don't think it was gold) was lost.

It might have been made in the early EDO period, so at least it is no recent cast copy, I think. If you did not pay much, it is certainly o.k. for studies. Better ones will follow as you improve your knowledge.
