Does anyone recognize this mark or symbol?  It on the reverse of the tsuba, part of a 15 inch sword.  It very tiny, hope you can see the photo in detail.   Thank you all !

Taisho period stamp as hamfish said. Looks like a brand mark from a crafting shop. Give the fittings and the blade a little bit of choji oil and they look nice. I would clean the tsuka with a smooth brush from the dirt. The habaki looks interesting.
