Cuirassier Posted September 8, 2022 Report Posted September 8, 2022 Hi all Someone touted a shin gunto to me. I passed on it based on these markings. But I thought I would post a pic here to see if anyone says "OMG, you idiot" Quote
Geraint Posted September 8, 2022 Report Posted September 8, 2022 Dear MArk. I think you did the right thing. All the best. Quote
PNSSHOGUN Posted September 8, 2022 Report Posted September 8, 2022 Aren't those the katakana for the "Java swords", made during WWII on Japanese occupied Java? There is an oshigata of something similar in the smaller Fuller & Gregory book. Passing was the right call either way. 1 Quote
Bruce Pennington Posted September 8, 2022 Report Posted September 8, 2022 Yes, a Java sword. So, only an "OMG" moment if you like collecting other WWII stuff made in occupied territories. Quote
