Can any help with the ID of this Mon,tried the Militaria section but you know those guys,all blood and Snot

 

Any advice would be appreciated as have spent hours on Google and keep getting some rather strange images but no info.

 

Thanks

Forgot to mention that this Gunto was taken from a senior officer, I put on a blue/brown tassel as the red/brown had been used as a "Dog collar" and long lost

Hi Roy

Interseting mon,I think the lower characterl is Ishidatami ( paving stones) Haynes Jjapanese Family Crests give Takaya,Hiroano, Udono, Yoshimaru and,Tsuchia as family names.

The upper character could be Ichi??

Hi Tony

It is a classic "Ichi" character.

What does the combination mean?

Morning Roy,

 

I've heard this Kamon referred to as Maruni Ichino Ji Mitsu Ishi.

 

Cheers

Good morning Malcolm

 

Cannot work out the meaning of that,tried Bablefish coverting back into Japanese but that did not work.??

Good evening Roy,

 

As far as I am aware, the protocol for naming Kamon is as follows

 

Maruni - Within a circle

 

Ichino Ji - The Kanji character Ichi (One)

 

Mitsu - Three

 

Ishi - Stone(s) whether they are paving stones or blocks is not clear but they are always square.

 

There occurs a varient of "Mitsu Tate Ishi" which is a collection of three rectangular paving stone or blocks a little bit like tatami in shape.

 

Babelfish is an interesting tool....

 

I'll PM you some links to get you going in the right direction.
