    I seem to recall the americans ground the chrysanthemum off surrendered arms to signify they were no longer the emperors property.

    the japanese soldier would destroy the chrysanthemum emblem as having his weapon captured with it was a disgrace to the japanese emperor as it was the symbol of their royal family

    Burb122-credit to you old chap.
    Came out looking pretty good for what it was.
    How did the barrel come out-did it look as bad as the outside?
    just wondering if it was shootable or a wall hanger?

    Hi mate, thanks it probably is shootable...but not worth it haha. I would say barrel was 2 out of 10. Pretty well buggered. There is not much putting inside the barrel. But the rifling looks really well smoothed off. And kind of shiny.

    Just a nice old piece of history
