Ron M Posted March 28 Report Posted March 28 Hello to you all, I have a gunto by Seki Kanemitsu that has this fuchi I believe may be iron. What is the emblem it shows…police? I haven’t seen this one on any gunto I have collected and seen before and it’s not on Ohmura that I can see. Regards and thanks for any help. Ron Quote
Conway S Posted March 28 Report Posted March 28 Yes, Ron you are correct. That is a police sword. The few I have seen have been late war. 4 Quote
Ron M Posted March 28 Author Report Posted March 28 Conway, thank you for your reply. Do we know of pictures of other examples of this Gunto fuchi having a police (or ?) cast onto it and not used as a button? The application here being like a mon maybe? But I have not seen any like this on a gunto. More work to be done….thank you again Quote
