Owari?

Owari? doubt it

I need many more detail and much better quality photos to confirm. Providing more background information about your request would also yield more replies.

Thanks David，I'll make some quality pictures in daytime.

Owary? Why not?... could be something else? Of course. Does it have some prominent tekkotsu? Then Kanayama (... but it's just a kind of Owari). Shōami? You can't go too off if you say Shōami. Could be Akasaka or Kyō? Far less likely. Better pics could help? I don't think so, in this case.

It could be an OWARI TSUBA, but in my opinion it is not typical. My impression is more KO SHOAMI, but as said above, looking at it in hand is necessary.

one more picture,I’m perplexed by the faint fine horizontal striations on the surface.

Hi Chen, it looks as if someone has used a wire brush there to remove rust.

[xiaopangshizi]

that's very reasonable

Hi Chen, from looking at the additional photo, I would say Ko-Shoami group or early Edo Period Shoami School. The rim shape in particular does not look like the workmanship of the Owari group to me. The surface looks very damaged likely by sandpaper or something similar (hard and abrasive) was used to remove a lot of active rust from the surface as noted by @Bugyotsuji.

On a badly damaged tsuba like this where I don't see much of the good natural patina of the iron I would think it would be a significate amount of work to try improve the texture and details of the surface of the tsuba. I would need more photos with good lighting so I could see the extent of the damage and the particular details of the surface texture. With all said I would not say it is not an impossible task.
