While waiting people posting Lugers.... snack is a Showato

[alvin]

Showato, i.e. Showa era sword, refers to any sword made during the Showa era, 1926 to 1989. "Showato" is used by collectors to also refer to non-traditionally made swords of the Showa Era. It also implies a lower grade of blade not usually of interest to Nihonto collectors.

But Showato of IJA could be interesting to war relic collectors. Show-off here is such a thing. Enjoy.
