Nobody Posted March 6, 2007 Report Posted March 6, 2007 Hi, That reads as follows; 大分縣 宇佐郡 明治村 Ohita-ken Usa-gun Meiji-mura (seems to be the owner's address) 全北益山郡 礪山面 ?????????? Yeosan-myeon (seems to be a place name in Korea) 清永 宗雄 Kiyonaga Muneo (owner's name) Quote
Brian Posted March 6, 2007 Report Posted March 6, 2007 Yep...I'm pretty sure it is a surrender tag. I don't suppose they need much explanation. Always nice to get with a WW2 sword. Brian Quote
eugene walton Posted March 7, 2007 Author Report Posted March 7, 2007 it could be that this sword was surenderd in korea, wow a littel bit of history , thanks for the help Quote
Bungo Posted March 7, 2007 Report Posted March 7, 2007 not an expert..........but isn't it true usually the address is that of the owner ( well, ex-owner ) and not the site of surrender ? milt the ronin Quote
