Hi

 

I have been asked to have a look at, and give some idea as to a description of a Gunto sword. This sword was brought back to the UK, from Burma at the end of WW11. It seems to be all standard for a date of 1942. It has remained intact since then, and has been allowed to R.I.P! (Rust in Piece) The assemble numbers on the Tsuba, Dai-seppa and Seppa,s match at the number 12.

 

Straight forward to there then. The Seki stamp can be seen on the Nakago, but as to the Kanji I could use help. The rust on the Nakago was pretty advanced, I don't think I can achieve a better result with the kit I have, for a better photo. So I don't expect an absolute result. But I will thank you for any response.

 

Regards Denis.

I sit in background and follow the posts on site, and in truth George you never fail to assist, there are very few times, that your input has not been offered, so from me it is valued and I thank you for it.

 

Regards Denis.
