One For The Kyu Gunto Nuts

[lonely panet]

Well every IJA sword nut knows of these, not common by any stretch. maybe you could call it RARE        OR MAYBE IM JUST TALKING OUT MY ASS 

 

just thought i would share the last pics before she heads off to a mates collection

[PNSSHOGUN]

Rare is an understatement. If you hoisted up the price tag it would get the enemy running.

[Bruce Pennington]

Wow, it's a shame it didn't have the original flag with it!

[Shamsy]

There was one with a flag for sale only a few months back. $1500 USD. I was tempted yet again but had to remember that I only collect NCO....

[Shamsy]

Corrected, thank you Josh

[PNSSHOGUN]

$1500usd seems awfully cheap for such a rare sword.

[lonely panet]

well at that price, i could be tempted to sell here  

[lonely panet]

oddly tho, this example has 3 holes in the blade, wear as the example in Dawson has only 2 holes for that attachemnt for the flag

 

any ideas???

[Bruce Pennington]

A bigger flag maybe? I'm not at home and don't have my books - doesn't the one in Dawson have a different shape to the "blade" as well, like a taper where the flag goes?
