Hi Rob,

Sorry to say this, but doesn't appear very good to me. Maybe a late Edo cast tsuba? No real detail, and the mei might just be irrellevant on this one. Looks fairly generic to me

Try giving it a gentle wash and good dry with soap and water, and see what it looks like after?

It is a mass produced late Edo or meiji cast Tsuba.

I have seen them "signed" and i have seen them Not.

sorry

Wow, even the nakago ana stamping is the same...
