IJASWORDS Posted October 24, 2020 Report Posted October 24, 2020 When I started collecting Gunto, I displayed them with sword belts, appropriate to their rank, NCO, field, officer etc, complete with hangers. Thought it may be of interest to post them. A nice part of Japanese history. They are in the for sale section if anyone is interested. 2 1 Quote
Ontario_Archaeology Posted October 24, 2020 Report Posted October 24, 2020 Cool thread, I have also picked up a few belts along the way to go with my display, however, I can't necessarily remember all the information (it's written down somewhere) the top one is a medical officers belt and the bottom is an officers belt, but unsure of the rank. I cannot remember the difference in rank between the red and the blue leather belts. Info on service branch colours for medical belt.... https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ranks_of_the_Imperial_Japanese_Navy 1 Quote
PNSSHOGUN Posted October 24, 2020 Report Posted October 24, 2020 Blue is for Lt. - Cpt. ranks, red was used by both Field & General officers. 1 Quote
