Hello Brian Thanks for taking interest in this. Hope the question will be answered one day:...! I didn?t know Arisakas was produced in Italy, so at least I learned something new Thanks again! Kjell
Hello Great looking medals! I have not collected Japanese medals myself, but here are two Golden Kite sake cups (sakazuki type). The metal one is from the first Sino-Japanese War 1894-1895. The other was given to a soldier named Minagava, and is dated on the back, 20 May 1937. Kjell
Thanks for your opinion Jim! Hope the new pictures are ok? Just for the record, I can traced the bayonet back 32-33 years. I came to Norway from British company in a lot containing different markings. One of the other was Nagoya marked. Kjell
You would love the rest of his collection!! Probably the biggest one in Norway on the subject. Things you wont?t find in any museum, and most of it whit a name and history. Kjell
We got a lot of compliments from friends, wife's and girlfriends. People which have been looking at this kind of collecting as a bit weird. They showed up just to be supportive but quit a few changed their opinion. I think was thanks to the diversity in the exhibition. I?m not sure if we will get new member due to this, but the public opinion was worth it. We also got a nice article in the local newspaper. Kjell
