Scogg Posted August 23, 2025 Report Posted August 23, 2025 At a militaria show and have come across this gunto. Sorry for the photos, tough to find a place to sit down and get good shots amongst the show. Signature looks a little strange to me. Nice two piece habaki and thick pierced brass tsuba. Would love a translation if it’s readable enough from these (poor) pictures. Thanks for looking! -Sam Quote

Bruce Pennington Posted August 24, 2025 Report Posted August 24, 2025 Is that August 1659? (sorry to intrude, just practicing) Quote
Scogg Posted August 24, 2025 Author Report Posted August 24, 2025 (edited) I believe you’re correct Bruce my interpretation is 8th month of the second year of manji (1658-1661) Edited August 24, 2025 by Scogg 1 Quote
