Two tsubas for ID

I am looking for information about age and origin of these two tsubas.

 

Both are made of iron, first one is 75mm x 75mm  and 3mm thickness and second one is 84mm x 79mm and 4mm thickness.

 

 

Second one:

Dear Tony.

 

Have a look around katchushi for the first, possibly a later version.  The second I can't help you with but I do like it.

 

If you've not found it this will give you a few hours of pleasure, http://www.shibuiswords.com/tsuba.htm

 

All the best.

First one looks Early Edo Katchushi. Maybe earlier. It is thin and the plate looks older. As for the second, late Edo, maybe Bushu? (A big basket). Plate looks young and carving sharp. A little bone and oil can clean up the active rust on that one.

Still looking for some more info about this one because I really enjoy it but can't tell much about type and school.

Tony,

the second one of your TSUBA (no plural form) was certainly nice when it was made, but the serious corrosion is a bad flaw for an experienced collector.
