Bruce Pennington Posted May 8 Report Share Posted May 8 Not often you see an Army gunto with that flat ito style (there's a name for that). Also, the mon is one I haven't seen. Have you gotten it identified? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, the mon is one I haven't seen. Have you gotten it identified? The mon is katabami "wood sorrel", I've seen this mon on two other swords. The were featured on the kabuto-gane and not on the menuki like this one, I'm unsure of why. the other were or appeared to be army types.
