Japanese Edo Abumi stirrups with signature/mei ?
			 
			 
			
		
		
		
			
			Here is a pair of Japanese stirrups. 
Edo period for sure but no idea if early or late... 
 
Oddly enough, I haven't found any other posts on the site that mention them, but perhaps I haven't searched properly. 
 
They seem to be signed. 
The signature is of better quality on one of them. Can anyone translate it ? 
It could help for fix it.🙂 
 
Idem, does some specialist know if the ́’flower’́ symbol is a famille crest  ? 
 
Does anyone have any tips or a magic method for restoring the shine to silver inserts without damaging them and remove some rust? 
 
Kind regards
