phil reid Posted March 13, 2021 Author Report Posted March 13, 2021 Thanks Chaps , yes thought the "flowers" were shorter than the Government seal , so family Maruni Gosan Giri Mon ? is there some significance to the tsuba being stamped numerous times as seems random, blades showa stamped but assuming tsubas earlier.
