Chriso Posted November 20, 2009 Report Posted November 20, 2009 G'day all, An friend of mine dropped over on his way back from picking up a number of Items for destined for a Military museum. A beautiful set of fittings that I will attempt to post in the Tosogu area as soon as possible, but in this instance a Shin Gunto, nothing special about it, although It was a surrender sword given to an Australian General. I was not game to remove the Tsuka as it was stuck fast and I don't have the correct tools to do the job, but it did have what I believe is a surrender tag attached. I would very much appreciate a translation of the text if anyone could please help, I'm sure the museum that the item is going to would be delighted with any help. Regards and best Chris O Quote
