wittman12 Posted December 28, 2011 Report Posted December 28, 2011 This shingunto was surrended to an RAF Officer at Penang Malaya at the end of the war. Quote
pcfarrar Posted December 28, 2011 Report Posted December 28, 2011 The gunto koshirae is in nice condition, the blade appears to be an oil tempered showato. Quote
David Flynn Posted December 28, 2011 Report Posted December 28, 2011 A very nice example of a shingunto and accoutrements. Quote
Lindus Posted December 29, 2011 Report Posted December 29, 2011 The ito looks new'ish as does the polish at the Yakote,perhaps done at the same time as the "Gold" inlay Roy Quote
wittman12 Posted January 2, 2012 Author Report Posted January 2, 2012 The shingunto used to have a stitched on leather cover on the ito, the RAF officer took it off to see what was underneath. I have got the cover. Wittman Quote
