TSUBA school or maker?

[ROKUJURO]

Gentlemen,

 

I would appreciate some help in locating a school or even a maker of this TSUBA. I think it is a very late EDO piece.

 

Thank you in advance!

Hi Jean C.,

 

To be as specific as to the artist is next to impossible with a unsigned piece like this. In my opinion it is a Bakumatsu era (Very Late Edo Period) Hamano school work of good quality. The different soft mental inlays look nice.

No idea but it is lovely.
