  1. Hello, I'd like to show off my gunto, it's signed 武州住 外記 利長 and was made in 1661ish. I think it's special because the Tsuba is non uniform but has been made to fit a locking mechanism. There is more ware on the hanger than I have seen on any other gunto which tells me it must have been worn a lot probably in an office setting since the saya is in almost perfect condition.
  2. Yes, as far as we all know all Navy ranks would have the standard dark brown navy tassel. John did post a brown tassel with white criss-crosses done in the general pattern that may have been for admirals, but they seem super uncommon. Maybe @PNSSHOGUNcan let you know more, as far as I know he is the tassel king.
  3. More variation. Far left is fake.

  7. I'm starting to think everyone of your gunto in your collection is high class John!

  9. There is no blade, this is only the koshirae, there is a wooden blade that stands in for the real one.
