Help With School Please

[johnnyi]

Hello. Hopefully I can get some help identifying this school and what period?  It is forged iron with fine tekkotsu on "petals". 

 

It measures roughly 69.9 mm tall by 68.5 mm wide    

Petals average 4.6 to 4.7 mm at their thickest

Seppa dai measures roughly 5.7 mm

 

Thanks in advance for any help you can give (and please concentrate your efforts on Vajo's tsuba first....he was here before me )

 

Thanks,   Johni

Thank you gentlemen.  Would mid Edo be a fair guess to age?

Krystian, yours is attributed to Heianjo (平安城), and described as Flower design sukashi (花文透). Johni, I imagine yours was once the same as Krystian's though has since lost the brass inlay

Thank you Kristian and Kyle. It is interesting to see the similarities. After seeing them both, it seems that mine might be a cruder version of Kristian's Heianjo with only the design in common? What appear to be channels carved into the inner portion of each frond on mine are actual a bit of an illusion, and in fact  the thin arching  inner band on each  frond drops off to an ever thinner outer part, so there is no channel for the brass to lay into .
