I've also added a pic of him middle with shirt off and his shipmates that go with the story. He also put some kid of clear coat on it to prevent the names from rubbing off and rusting. He was on one of the first Mine Sweepers YMS that went into Tokyo harbor before the USS Missouri which was used as the platform for signing the surrender I have attached a few pics of the riffle and you can see he had all his shipmates sign it. I have an old Arisaka riffle that my grandfather gave me before he passed.
