Double Rain Dragon

I wonder if anyone can help with the signature translation on this guard?  I don't think it is ubu 生:   It looks too thick and rounded - I don't have in hand yet,  I bought it for its shape and design.    71 mm x 62 mm x 4 mm

The design is one I have not seen before so if anyone has seen something similar I would appreciate the information. I have four examples of the more usual 'Rain Dragon' below.

Thanks for any comments.

Hi Greg I have lately thought that "unique" is often optimistic. Of the more usual rain dragon type I have found at least 26 - examples and from correspondence with other members I have found numerous examples of their tsuba designs,  duplicated. Utsushi seems to be the norm rather than the exception.
