Japanese parade saber...

Hi,
whar does this sign on the handle of the japanese (?) parade saber mean?

Thank you for your help.

Your shiki-tō 指揮刀 [dress/parade sword] was made by a company called Suya.

Mon
The sign on the hilt is called a Mon. It is a family crest and in this case looks like a kanji character instead of a symbol. You need to take a picture directly overhead of this character.

Not really a kamon, but a name designed like a kamon.
