Mantis dude Posted December 16, 2013 Report Posted December 16, 2013 from the late meiji camping wars..... cub scouts battled girl scouts....It was reported there were cookies everywhere with ripped merit badges on their uniforms. Some say the diabetic downfall of both groups was a direct result from these battles...... I need to get some sleep.......... Quote
John A Stuart Posted December 16, 2013 Report Posted December 16, 2013 Wow, the text says this was a popular design of a compass made as a dedication of Perry's landing. 1853 Kenjo tsuba. John Quote
Curran Posted December 16, 2013 Author Report Posted December 16, 2013 9.5 cm round. Choco-pie (Moonpie) anyone? John, thanks for the description read. I admit I had not read it. 'Post 1853' Kenjo (Kyoto specific shop production) is an interesting attribution by the seller. Quote
Pete Klein Posted December 16, 2013 Report Posted December 16, 2013 My bet is that this is modern. The Japanese weren't exactly enamored of Adm. Perry. Also, there are no signs of seppazuri - seppa wear. Quote
Ted Tenold Posted December 16, 2013 Report Posted December 16, 2013 Standard Samurai GPS unit. :lol: I'm with Pete on this; I think modern. Interesting none the less! Quote
sanjuro Posted December 16, 2013 Report Posted December 16, 2013 Surely one would think that were it anything but very modern, and intended for use by a samurai, or even as a curio that the cardinal points would be in kanji rather than western script. :? :? Quote
kusunokimasahige Posted December 16, 2013 Report Posted December 16, 2013 But..... Is it magnetic ? KM Quote
BMarkhasin Posted December 17, 2013 Report Posted December 17, 2013 Send it out for papers... Namban or Shoami? Ooops, forgot to engage the brain-mouth filter. Boris Quote
SwordGuyJoe Posted December 18, 2013 Report Posted December 18, 2013 from the late meiji camping wars..... cub scouts battled girl scouts....It was reported there were cookies everywhere with ripped merit badges on their uniforms. Some say the diabetic downfall of both groups was a direct result from these battles...... I need to get some sleep.......... Probably the funniest thing I've read in a while. Thanks for the chuckle dude! Quote
Pete Klein Posted December 21, 2013 Report Posted December 21, 2013 I couldn't agree with Boris more about sending out for 'papers'! Quote
