Iron Dragon Tsuba Attribution?

Thanks for the suggestions, chaps. I don't think it is Jakushi, however. Whilst Jakushi achieved a similar effect through etching with acid, their etching doesn't have the same level of depth as this one. Also, Jakushi school applied nunome on top of the relief, which this tsuba lacks - though there is gold inlay for the dragon's eyes. 

Steven and Jeremiah, I think you are right, as I was initially drawn towards Mito. I can certainly see similarities with yours Jeremiah, though the iron looks wet. Perhaps mine just needs some choji and TLC.
