Stephen Posted November 17, 2012 Report Posted November 17, 2012 same as one posted but better color, chevrons did have red in them at one, time i guess i need to do a light cleaning. Quote
Kai-Gunto Posted November 18, 2012 Report Posted November 18, 2012 Mid. Sarute without hands. Same as army (cherry blossoms)but without brownish paint. Brown string and plain army sarute. Quote
zentsuji2 Posted November 18, 2012 Author Report Posted November 18, 2012 Thanks all of you.They are all beauties.i will log them down and see if anyone knows of rank or tassel significance to the sarute.Are any marked with characters,fitters marks.I wondered why people would pay so much for a small item,but seeing them with tassel just finishes off the whole thing.Want one now before they become ultra hard to find,and they all go up to scary prices.Thsnks again for all your time and photos.ianb.
