An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.

https://dullmensclub.com/

1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.

2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.

3. Avoid repetitive topics.

4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.

There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.

Some other communities to consider before posting:

5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.

6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.

7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

How's the Chrysanthemum, cut or uncut?

Who made it? (The mark to the left of the chrysanthemum.)

Just curious!

The Chrysanthemum was filed off before surrender to the US military. The manufacturer marking is Toyo Kogyo. This is a mid-war model. 1942. So, it still has a good build quality before all hell broke loose and they started making these things as fast and as cheap as they could in the mid-40's.

It still has the flip-up sights but lacks the airplane sights that flip out from that. After all these years, its still so accurate. Granted, it was only fired a few times before I got it. I still have the original bill of sale in my possession.

Ahh too bad about the chrysanthemum but nice stick either way!

I'd be interested in buying an early-war short barrel version with all the artistic flame it had to it one day. Especially, the kind with the milled Chrysanthemum on the back of the bolt safety. That aspect was long gone by the time my rifle was made. For being such an effective instrument of war for their time, they sure made them pretty especially at the beginning.
