A question for collectors.

[AZPhil]

Yes I do!!! I was in high school riding a bus talking about my Jap rifle (Type38 school rifle) that I had just found in a neighbors garage and was given and the kid behind me tells me about the sword his father took from a museum when he was in Japan. I ask if his dad would mind me looking at it. He tell's me his father is in an insane asylum(BINGO!!) and sure I can check it out. Long story shortened. I offer $25(1977) and wind up paying $15. It came with a maroon scabbard(Saya) but because it did not have the tsuba(hand guard) It split the Saya. Another long story, somebody (My SSgt)said they could fix it and their kids F#$Ked it up!!!! What to do when you are a LCpl????

But Yes It is in my display case and even thou It Is a BUNGO SWORD!!(Some find these as inferior to Meji Art swords) I love it ! I will never give this one up.

Mine would be the canteen cover of Palmer Leroy Klahre. KIA on Iwo Jima, 3rd Bn. 25th Marine Regiment, 4th Marine Division. Google him. Thanks, Rob.DSC00074.JPGDSC00075.JPGDSC00076.JPG

Ditto. MAP, where the f*** did you get that thing. It is amazing it survived.

Rob, that is cool. But not to be a buzzkill but other that P.L.K. stenciled on the front, do you have any proof that it is his. I am just curious. I am not trying to make a heated debate about it.

Phil/Lockley,

Yes. Where is that dang "Like" button!!!!!

Your reaction was the same reaction I had when I first saw it. My childhood friend had it. He is really into Civil War collecting and I told him I wanted first dibs when he needed money...time passes and he calls me up. Needed money for a Springfield Musket. It was one of those items that money was no object and paid what I thought was way too much (now I know better). I just had to have it. I love this thing and will never get rid of it!!!!

If ONLY IT COULD TALK!

Check out the original thread. When I just joined WRF!!
