I seem to recall the americans ground the chrysanthemum off surrendered arms to signify they were no longer the emperors property.
Yes sir. MUM = Chrysanthemum.

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 familyQuote:

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[emoji106] 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.Quote:
