Gunto Stamps Document

[BruceP]

All,

I put together a .pdf formated document compiling all the data I could find on gunto and koshirae stamps. I got tired of jumping around from books to websites looking for a stamp. Most of the info is copyrighted (we have permission!) so personal use ONLY.

I can't upload it for some reason, mabye too many KB's (37 pages) so if you want one send me a PM with an email address and I'll send a copy to you.

Enjoy.

Bruce,
Thanks for putting in so much work compiling the information about Gunto's and sharing it with us.

Update 1: pg 16, “Kisusi” should be “Kikusui”. (Massafrassin’ autocorrect!!!)
