**MeeveStesia** · 08-20-2006, 01:56 PM

I was browsing on Ebay and I found this... kinda tempted to buy it myself. Would make a great addition to my collection!

*note* I hope this isn't considered spamming. I'm not selling this! I just thought some other people here would appreciate this kind of stuff. If I broke any rules please delete this or move to it's proper forum. Thanks!

That is a way cool set. MSU had a do that was very much like that.. with the take showing on the outside, no laquer, just the leather lacing to 'stiffen it'.
Wish I had space for it.. I'd buy it and make a display of it in some part of
the MSU world.
The current bid is >very< low for this kendo historical item.

**Gulauur** · 08-20-2006, 02:07 PM

^ I know! ^

I was surprised at the price myself.... I'd like to buy it but in the same boat as you! No-room!

**newspetty** · 08-20-2006, 06:43 PM

That's a good find, but I don't think you can call it an antique.

**Amoniustauns** · 08-21-2006, 02:08 AM

You can buy do with that style construction from Chiba Bogu.

If it's only a do, why am I getting this message?

**Avoireeideree** · 08-22-2006, 12:03 PM

swordsaint99, good idea!

Hi Lucy,

The most probable reason you can't view the item is because its listed under WWII antiques/memorablia. Germany and I think Austria has very strict laws prohibiting the sale of such items.

Germany does not want its Nazi past to be glorified and so such items are banned. Whether its a blanket ban on all items to do with WWII (the Axis connection with Japan) or its just an oversight...well, that depends on what e-bay was instructed.

**dmitrynts** · 08-24-2006, 10:05 PM

yeaqh, but they arent wearing hakama, whats up with that?

because the second picture is a ww-II era bayonet usage manual, not a kendo instruction manual. Obviously the JIA was adapting bogu for use in that role. Its an excelent idea, especialy considering the way the bayonet was viewed compared to the sword...
