Thank you for the reply. Perhaps I was in a hurry and did not pay close attention to the written details. I was just excited they were available. However, I did create my own custom design using the one I purchased as a base and added to it. I am very please with the final results. I would be glad to supply a picture if you like.

Thank you for your honest review. Our crests are made to be much like the originals, which were not large, thick clumps of brass. They are made with a modest amount of brass which was needed to keep balance and symmetry. Linked below is an example of an early Edo Era maedate auctioned for €340. You can see how thin they actually where.
Regarding the size of the crest, please note on the bottom right of each image, is the size in cm. Other sizing details are noted in the product description. If you are ever uncertain about what to expect or our product description or picture is not clear, please do contact us before ordering as we do not want you to be surprised and/or underwhelmed with what you receive.
