Shuriken Posted January 2, 2022 Report Posted January 2, 2022 would love to see the tsuba in more detail Quote
Wulfschanze6 Posted January 2, 2022 Author Report Posted January 2, 2022 Sorry. I'll post new pics once it arrives. Quote
PNSSHOGUN Posted January 2, 2022 Report Posted January 2, 2022 This isn't specifically a Shin Gunto, rather a sword for a civilian employee of the army. The mounts and blade appear to have been made during the war though. Some examples here: http://ohmura-study.net/728.html 4 Quote
Wulfschanze6 Posted January 2, 2022 Author Report Posted January 2, 2022 Ah I see. I’m fairly new to the sword game so I’m still learning. That is very interesting. Quote
Bruce Pennington Posted January 2, 2022 Report Posted January 2, 2022 @Wulfschanze6 - Andrew, John's link is a great one. I'd recommend the whole Ohmura site for a new guy: http://ohmura-study.net/900.html Also, a great discussion of the use of civil swords for the military Here: https://www.warrelics.eu/forum/Japanese-militaria/family-short-blades-gunto-688110/ 2 Quote
