Looking for Newspaper ad Requesting Donation of swords for War Effort

[Bruce Pennington]

Forgive me for starting a thread just for this, but my forum searching skills have failed to turn up the newspaper articles that requested the donation of swords for the war effort.

If anyone has a copy of those articles, or can link to where they were posted, I'd appreciate it!

Thanks

Could you be getting it confused with Komiya-sensei's expose on family blades as gunto?

It's quite possible Kiipu. My remembery is known to blend/morph stuff over time.
