I would very much like to ask the Forum Sword experts for any help and information relating to the Tang engravings on my recently purchased Shin Gunto.

Left Hand Side.

Right Hand Side.

Sageo and Menuki.

I am told by the seller that it is signed KANEYOSHi and dated 1941. He also said it is KEISO YASURI marked on the Tang, but I do not know what that means.

Thank you for any help.

Neil

So, this is not my usual avenue, but can anyone tell me more than I already know? Perhaps I’ve missed something…..

This is, I believe a late 1943 helmet complete with high pressure liner manufactured by The seaman paper company. In 1943 the fixed bale was replaced in favour of the swivel bale, Up until late 1943 the rim of the helmet was stainless steel with its join at the front. You can clearly see the front seam and the S letter on the liner. It has the letter “S” stencilled in black to the front. And seeing as this is not my cup of tea, I will bow to greater knowledge…….. The liner has blue paint traces all over….Navy?

Thanks

I am trying to trace a US Army officer that served during WW2 A Captain Robert Temple service number 34727459 …… With UK records it’s easy but the US ones? I’ve tried and hit a brick wall. I’d rather find a site that doesn’t charge you if possible. I saw a site on here the other day that you could search by service number but I can’t remember where it was………….can anyone help please

Thanks

Description: Hello all,

Here’s your chance to pick up an incredible Veteran’s league eagle produced in aluminum. In my opinion, a very pleasing design and these look great in a riker mount. This one is complete with reverse markings and a brass pin.

Not sure what it is, I’m guessing postwar with kriegsmarine tally or total reproduction. I’m not sure if a postwar cap would have a kriegsmarine tally as it should be volksmarine I thought, I’m new to German collecting. Any help is appreciated. Sorry for reposting my thread I posted it in the wrong section, i figured this would be better.
