MITO SCHOOL

Yes, the signature in Jay's post and the signature on the tsuba in the Worthpoint auction are both 正美 . Different guy from the 正義 who made the tsuba in Robert's thread. But both are pronounced the same.

Looking around online and I found another very similar in style. https://www.antiques...uba-ishiguro-school/

maybe it’s an ishiguro school? There was an Ishiguro Masayoshi but the Masa character looks a little different than on mine. 

Edit: Tsuba arrived and I was able to take my own photos of it.
