Tsuba Comparison Sought

[hddennis]

 Have owned tsuba on the left for years but just acquired the one on the right. Anyone have any thoughts as to how close they may be in age to each other?

 

Thanks in advance,

A shoami pattern type [ but may be signed with various names] - they made these over a very long time span.

One of mine. Not very different to the second example.
