Chriso Posted January 5, 2009 Report Posted January 5, 2009 G'day all and Happy New Year, A while back I was able to trade a fairly standard Gunto for my collection, I believe it is signed Jima Kane Nori. The Tassel that is attached is of leather which I have not seen before, and I am unable to find a reference to. Is there someone out there that may be in a position to provide some infomation for me. Best wishes Chris O Quote
Brian Posted January 5, 2009 Report Posted January 5, 2009 If I am correct (and I am not sure at all) I think this is the tassel that went with the NCO Shin Gunto. Brian Edit to add: here is the official NCO tassel. Similar, but not the same. Yours was either modified or field made by the soldier I think. I lean towards the latter explanation.

Chriso Posted January 5, 2009 Author Report Posted January 5, 2009 Ta for the prompt reply. I must admit that on first sighting I couldn't believe that the tassel belonged to an Officers Gunto as it has a fairly average appearance. Regards Chris O Good to see you are keeping them honest Jean Quote
