Gensui

[Lindus]

Amongst a number of items that came with a sword many years ago were from an officer in the Royal Ulster Fusliers who was seconded to the 5th Ghurka rifles, is a pin backed badge, enamelled and could be in silver. It sat in a bag along with Sake bowls, military badges,old photgraphs and even a British officers Binoculars from the family of this officer, non of which had at the time been of any interes to me,during a reconstruction of the old home I found box,s of stuff that atb the time had been of little interest.......................This badge was in the pile, checked it out and found that it is called "Gensui" and given to retired senior officers,can any of the memborship elaborate on this as I did not have any surrender details that included the badge. Since then I have had a number of request to sell which were declined as I would prefer to keep as a package with the sword{Koto, Suriage,mei "Yasu Tsugu"}

 

Any input would be splendid.

Thanks

That is actually a Marshal's badge, looks like a reproduction too.

Certainly does, by the way when I clicked on the link Norton jumped up and said the site was unsafe virus wise.

 

Many thanks for that
