Bugyotsuji Posted May 27, 2022 Report Posted May 27, 2022 Hi Edward. Some schools of gunnery might add an exhortation or poetic expression on the top of the barrel. I am taking a guess at 雲竜 unryū until someone can refine it for you. Clouds and dragon(s). Dragon in the clouds? PS The second character is with 50% confidence. Quote
Edward G Posted May 27, 2022 Author Report Posted May 27, 2022 Thank You Piers for your contribution! Can anyone else confirm this for me? All thoughts are appreciated. Edward G Quote
