Goose tsuba identification

[DanielM]

Could you please help me identifying a school for this tsuba…all I can say ..it looks like a copy of kaneie goose tsuba.  Dimensions 8.3 x 8.1 cm and thickness 3 mm in the center 4. 3 on the rim

Many thanks in advance for your comments

I would have said Kaneie style also but too ornate and no signature - probably Shoami or Aizu-Shoami - They were known to do some Kaneie lookalikes. JMO

There is an old post with a frog - it has to my mind a similar "feel" to it - not sure why - [feel free to ignore my unsubstantiated "feeling"]

 

There is one on ebay now - nowhere near as good as your guard - https://www.ebay.com/itm/275898978473  The workmanship is pretty ordinary.

Hi Daniel,

 

I would also say Kaneie style by Aizu Shoami.
