Material: Iron, Gold Size: 78mm x 74mm x 4mm Age: late Edo era 1800-1849 Hi, I like to date the late Edo Period a bit wider say 1770 to 1868. I agree your tsuba is likely the work on the Aizu Shoami School. Keep in mind there was much cross pollination between the Mito, Nara, and Aizu Shoami schools during this time period. There is a new book focus on the Aizu Shōami School written by Danny Massey and Tsuguyasu Wada of Nihontocrafts website. It would likely allow you to better appreciate and understand your tsuba.
