    IJA NCO Grouping with Sword Cover

    A small grouping I got in recently, everything was inside the service bag.

    Booklets on Imperial edicts for soldiers



    田附 Tazuke 正己 Masami



    Apparently he made it past Lance Corporal to Sergeant later.



    Of interest to NCO sword collectors, here's a storage bag for his sword. Curiously, the name is different. Given name is still 正己 Masami, but the family name has changed to Kawa___ 川? (can't make out the second kanji). If a Japanese man marries into a family with no sons, he may take the wife's family name and be "adopted" into her family.

    Hi Papa Nambu,

    It is the word (せ Sé). Word meaning "Fast flowing sallow river".

    川瀬 正巳 (Kawasé Masami)

    Best regards,
    Taka

      Thanks Taka, I spent about 20 minutes trying to figure that out before I gave up.
