Can someone tell what this guard is? https://www.jauce.com/auction/l1059590351

 

This guard undoubtedly comes from a very cheaply made souvenir with carved/engraved bone koshirae bits.  The sheet metal front and back with 'bracing bits' is THE cheapest form of tsuba making.  I have a couple of such swords...

 

BaZZa.
