    Looks original , but with very poor kanji like the other said. How many washers are ther on each side of the guard? Dont like the screw on this type.

    The one on ebay was a put together Imo. I had once a type 3 with a Mitsuoki gendaito with killer hamon dated 1942. It had a plain sarute mounted , 100% sure it had been there from the start. 1 extra seppa with rim ,closeing over the kuchigane. Brown lacquered tsuka with real same and 2 iron screws ( mekugi). Wood scabbard with lacquered skin ,water proof. Never seen on with mon.
