    Daniel, you'll find a lot of information on the kyu-gunto at the Ohmura site, http://ohmura-study.net/771.html. They are beautiful swords and you will find people who collect them. I don't understand why they sell for so much less than the combat swords, but I've found them in the $400 range. If you are beginning to collect war swords, yours is a good one to start with!

    just picked up an old blade mounted in Navy koshirae. One of the seppa has an unusual stamp. Guys at another site think it is a manufacturer's stamp, and even had a removable Type 94 belt hanger with the same stamp. Any ideas?

    Steve, that might make sense, even with the Type 94 second hanger. It could be marking the piece (seppa or hanger) that is lower than the other one!

    I really enjoy my Type 3, Aprl 1945, mei Suke Kuni. It has a very beautiful blade.

    I've recently picked up a Navy gunto with an old blade, probably pre-1599. One of the seppas has a mark I can't find a translation for. Anyone recognize this charactor?
