Masanori is quite high regarded and is one of the few signed his works and that can be attributed to the Kyo-Shoami group and is well-documented. There is also a dated versions of a Masanori tsuba which is from 1701, and another one from 1702. Unfortunately those dates don’t help us determine if this Tsuba is Masanori 1st or 2nd. Anyway, in my opinion the appearance, steel etc., indeed looks old enough to be mid-1600s, so my feeling this is a work of Masanori 1st.
 
Another interesting fact. Marcus Sesko points out, Masanori was the first Shoami smith to sign with his own name.
