kaigunair Posted August 16, 2011 Report Posted August 16, 2011 Thought this was interesting study piece: http://cgi.ebay.com/WWII-Japanese-BATTLE-DAMAGED-SWORD-OCCUPIED-ISLANDS-/130563684337?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1e6633b7f1 Unfortunately/intentionally the seller hasn't removed the tsuka, but it looks like a machine made NCO blade. Only the fuchi is changed to match the koiguchi, and the sarute has been added. A funny specimen, yes no?. Quote

A funny specimen, yes no?. it is indeed a funny specimen ... note that this supposed to be a NCO blade, aluminum handle version ... but the tsuba dan fuchi does seems wrong, as both are not from NCO gunto ... however, it has genuine gunto (not NCO gunto) saya ... well ... I may be wrong :D Quote

Lindus Posted November 24, 2011 Report Posted November 24, 2011 Think this is known as a "Bitsy", made up from Officers & NCO by someone. Apart from that I like the "Blitzed" bit, have a Gunto with bullet hole in saya. Roy Quote
