LOL!

If you know me, you realize that I did not pay near that much for the book.  I very much value good information.  Especially when compiled into a good, single source.  But justifying that purchase with a willingness to part with the cash?  That is another matter.  I need to not be so stingy un that respect.

I did have to spend a fair bit on the book, but then I have had it a little bit as well.  I will certainly add full specs on it in the next day or two.

I was surprised to learn how the different officer's rank affected the sword they carried.  As well as if the sword is a 'parade sword', or a real functional one.  Being as I was never in any military, I am quite ignorant of that type of thing.

Finding a good book you don't have, is an accomplishment in and of itself!  Just  goes to show how you have managed to collect worthwhile material.

Oh nice book....this one looks really interesting to me, as I have two Type 19 Kyu-Gunto swords, like what's on the cover. Of course, like all great books NOT in my library, it's $175 and up....figures.
