Well I may well be corrected by the people who know WAY more than me, but I would say that it was a very white Kindai Showa as it has black on the head which I believe showas shouldn't. And it's not a tancho as the Hi isn't confined just to the head.

I would say Showa.

cant agree lee \ eds ...i think its a straight up maruten sanke , theres hardly any motoguru in the pecs , and i cant see any black on the head at all past the gill plate .....expert required .......prepared as always to be shot down :lol:

Hi Eddie
I agree with Gerry sanke

first look said SANKE
probably not maruten as spreads to muchs over body
60% body
40% head

the simple way to look at it is this, if you took the beni away ( imagine its not there for a minute) would it be bekko or shiro?

bekko all the way so its a sanke
