There is one here at catawiki   https://www.catawiki.com/l/21380241-iron-tsuba-signed-kofu-ju-namitoshi-gold-inlay-Japan-19th-century

It has a little more gold highlights. [ I have lightened the image so the mei is a little clearer, still difficult to read] The rim also has gold overlay.

It is in fact the same tsuba as number 9. in the post by Andrey E. above.

There is another in the Museum of Applied Arts & Sciences [Powerhouse Museum, Sydney Australia] Similar flower theme but the mei looks to be from another hand. A5308-31

Also one in the Ashmolean Museum [Jameel centre] http://jameelcentre.ashmolean.org/collection/8/object/20284  image.thumb.png.796df5b71ac4b7383cf95622cd48fd66.png

I am no expert on mei and the signatures may well be by different people but the style of work is the same.
