For the moment there is a very similar tsuba for sale on Catawiki ( https://www.catawiki.com/en/l/64470241-tsuba-iron-japan-azuchi-momoyama-period-1573-1603 ).

They date it as azuchi-momoyama period. As far as this is correct (?), should mine be from that same period?

Yves, I think that design is called "Smooth Dragon" - no scales on the body only the belly. The Catawiki one I doubt is as old as they advertise it to be, looks Edo to me.

Similar layout to a "Rain Dragon" one I have.
