Weird WW2 Looking Tsuba

[Samurai]

This Tsuba has the shape of the seppa's from the WWII Shin Gunto

The Nakago-ana is a bit small. I assume for a Tanto.

Signature: Masatsugu

 

But I was wondering if this was something unusual, because I've never seen one like this before.

Are there any pictures of Japanese Swords with these Tsuba's?

"SAMURAI",

with the sharp edges, this looks more like an individually made SEPPA (no plural!) to me than like a TSUBA (no plural - Japanese nouns do not have a plural form). 

Please sign all posts with at least a first name plus an initial so we could address you politely. This is a rule here on NMB.

This is 100% a Tsuba because it's thick & heavy for it to be a seppa.

The guard looks very similar to a type of gunto guard with the rim removed - except that the majority of these have a locking hole - the guard in question may have been given a "texture" recently if it was in fact a WWII altered piece but the colour is not what you would expect either. 

 

Could you give us some dimensions for this piece?

@Spartancrest It is Bronze.
