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.

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

Given, that I have been taught by a master....(Gerry) :lol: :lol: , I can confirm, that in my humble opinion, it's a Sanke :wink: :wink:

Sanke

and if its a young male (which it looks like) then the red will fade. Its too red too early
