Photos of Type 3 Gunto/Gendaito in Wear

[Death-Ace]

Hi guys!

I wonder if anyone has any photos of these? I could've sworn that I've seen one on the web before, but can't find it. With them in production from late '43 to '45, you'd think there'd be more!

Thanks in advance!

Gunto,

That's pretty cool, too! I may have seen two photos in which there were some in surrendered sword stacks, one of which is the one where they were to be destroyed. Maybe by that time, most movement had stopped, so those that had the swords in areas where they were captured, the officers were replacements or FNGs? Which explains the minty examples of many and the late war dates of most surviving ones. Bring backs from the mainland?
