An interesting 1883 11-leaf naval sword w/tachi mei nakago and kanji pommel

[Shuriken]

Another from the batch.  Ensign-captain rank 11-leaf pommel; can anyone comment on the kanji there? also include pics of the tachi mei signed nakago for input. thanks!

And more--see kanji under cherry blossoms--would love insight on that.

@Ray Singerwhoa! Wasn't expecting that. Thank you for the translation; it sure does appear to match others.  If you'll forgive the xtra question, can you or anyone translate the kanji on the guard/pommel--I don't think on the naval sword this would be called a tsuba-- apologies in advance as I don't know the term.

Looks like 氏 家 (Tadashi I believe). Other readings below.

@Ray Singerand group, thank you. Some aspects of the mei looked off as I compared to a genuine 1st-gen Tadahiro and Roger confirmed it--it's another gimei of this very copied smith. If only these blades could speak more, so we could know who actually forged them, and where and when.
