Thoughts about this tsuba

[Dan tsuba]

Hi members!

So, I am trying to figure out what school this tsuba belongs to and who possibly made it.

I looked at the Ashmolean Museum site at all the schools they listed and tusba pictured, and I couldn’t find anything like it.

I think it may be an older tsuba because it has two hitsu-ana that are the three lobed type hitsu-ana.  Unlike many tsuba that have one oval hitsu-ana and then a three lobed type hitsu-ana.

This is one of my most treasured tsuba (pictures included below).

 

And as a side note.

I didn't spend my usual $150 dollars for this tsuba.

I bought it in a package (lot) of 3 tsuba.

I purchased the lot of 3 tsuba for about $260 dollars fron eBay (picture of the lot purchased shown in the last picture attached).

So I figure my most prized tsuba cost me about $87 dollars.

 

Any information about this tsuba would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
