Identification of Mon or Family Crest

[Mark]

Seems i remember there was a link to pictures of family mon, but i can not find it. I have some fitting with a "mon" on them and wanted to indentify the mon and who may have used it

 

Thanks!

That's almost my wife family crest, which is the kasanebishi.

 

yours seems maru ni kasane bishi; the only difference is that yours have "hole" on the hishi, while the maru ni kasane bishi one has full figure.

You are showing it upside down.

 

EDIT: I ADD AN IMAGE FOR COMPARE

I looked in my mon book with over 4500 mons and it wasn't any of those.

James -- Thanks for checking -- must be a minor one

 

Amati -- Thanks for the response. I am sure i have it right side up, i took a picture of the fuchi and as you can seethe tsuba is beloe and the wrap above, i can't believe they would display it so you have to hold the sword with the tip pointing up to read it correctly. maybe it is a different mon?

indeed.

 

Better pictures of the whole part may help. Kashira has mon as well?

Stephen,

 

Thanks! seems to be a match. It is used 90 degrees differnt tahn mine but i guess that could be a variation. The other fittings have the same mon, so on my example it is being used as i showed it

 

thanks!
