Fusilier Posted July 15 Report Share Posted July 15 G'day Guys, I was hoping that someone may know something about what I believe is a family 'mon' embossed onto the hilt of this fairly ordinary Parade Sabre I recently purchased with the intention of listing. I realise it's a bit of a long shot, but nevertheless felt it was probably worth asking the question. Cheers David 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bugyotsuji Posted July 16 Report Share Posted July 16 The one in question has no circle around it. 橘、薬師寺、小寺、武重、小倉、瀬戸、小野、米倉、赤井、井伊、貫名など The Tachibana family used this Tachibana flower mon; among other families using it in variations were Yakushiji, Kodera, etc., including the famous 井伊 ‘i i’ that is so hard to write in Roman letters. https://irohakamon.com/kamon/tachibana/ 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
