Hello,
I dont usually mess around with guns but I got a good deal on this one.
My big question is what is this wooden thing hanging off the rear sling fittng?
The seller called it a "chuck" with he said is an armorer's acceptance stamp of some sort.
Is that true? Id like to know before I put it in the forsale section.
thanks D

I have a simlar tag on my Type I, and was told that it was an inventory tag, placed on by the armory for accounting purposes. I think that it's cool the way they used wood for the tag, and also tied it so carefully!

Hi, I have heard from one of our experienced collector that this is surrender tag. It was required to ground the Mum and put this tag on.
I need to get a referance to that.

I've heard the tags were for inventory or arsonal purposes. Of course that doesn't mean I'm correct!

From memory I'm go to with this combination: quote: Hi, I have heard from one of our experienced collectors that this is surrender tag for inventory/related purposes. It was required to ground the Mum and put this tag on.
The tags were temporary ID markers for captured war material. That was inventoried, and then given to returning servicemen. Or was otherwise disposed of. I don't know if I still have the picture or not. But I also have a recollection of a picture of a stack of swords being or just surrendered with tags. And I've seen then other tagged items as well, using whatever materials seemed to be at hand. FP

Based on picture 2, does this look like a Type 99?

The receiver markings in photo 3 show "type 38".

I have had many of these same surrender tags on
Japanese swords that I have acquired from the Pacific front Vets.The sword tags almost always have the soldiers family name and rank. Chuck Duke GD #0028

Fred Prinz's reply is correct from what I've always heard. I've personally gotten several from veterans with the tag still attached and was told that it was an inventory tag.
