  1. I do not have content for article 11, maybe Thomas can help?
  2. @Bruce Pennington That 特 (Special)mark is one of the Extraordinary stamps.
  3. John Found another work by 伊奈波 兼波之作, this one without cutting off the mei. Comparing it to the one I posted earlier with a partially cut-off mei, the signature does not appear to be carved by the same individual.
  4. here is Army 陸軍捻(諸捻卷)vs Navy Tachi style (平卷)
  5. Correction: it should be vertical 一一八 instead of 天
  6. Thanks,zac.#2-エ 三六七 was mine, it's in the database already.It's here the page 2
  7. 古厩第三部二(冶/浩?)会 林清
  8. @Bruce Pennington Found 6 "X"s on the handle spine of a factory reworked type 30 bayonet, and the wood grip marked 60.
  9. Neil Do you have photos of the whole scabbard?
  10. The kanji is 兵(兵器-Weapon) 甲(Class/Grade A) 第貳七九番 (Number 279)
  11. My Profile photo is 大威德明王/Yamantaka, he and 大黑天/Mahakala look very similar.
  12. @Bruce Pennington This sword is intriguing; it appears old. It might be wartime Chōsen/Korean-made rather than a Chinese knockoff, but I'm not sure though. The handle of a Korean sword is generally a bit shorter and thicker than that of a Japanese sword, and the blade is somewhat straighter compared to a Japanese sword. The engravings on the blade of a Korean sword are mostly in intaglio, while on Japanese swords, the characters are typically in intaglio, and the designs are often in relief. I'll share a few pictures of Korean swords for everyone to reference. Here are some Videos about Korean Hwando and Japanese sword
  13. That is a nice one! It was probably made around mid-1944.
  14. @Stegel Ernie, do you think the handle and fuchi are authentic, or do they appear to be replicas that have been artificially aged?
  15. @Bruce Pennington @Kiipu @Stegel @PNSSHOGUN Check this out: is it an original handle with a Polish-made blade or the handle is a Polish(Reliced) repro as well?
  16. Bruce If you flip the photo, you will see that the serial number (名 36722 ) matches the number on the blade and is on the correct side. I agree with you, this one looks legit. PS: According to Donald Barnes, #37118 has the same mark on the fuchi (岐 名 Cannonball)as this #36722 but features a brass tsuba.
  17. Bruce The Governor-General of Chōsen(朝鮮総督府) uses the 575 Paulownia seal. The Ministry of Justice (法務省) and the Imperial Guard (皇宮護衛/警察) also employ the 353 Paulownia as their seal.
  18. Your dirk, with the 5 7 5 paulownia pattern, is intended for the Governor’s Headquarters of Korea. The Railroad Bureau uses the 3 5 3 paulownia pattern.
  19. The Mei on the Taichi that Mantetsu gifted to some employees who have worked for 25 years is reversed.
  20. It looks like 7 , matching the 七 on the right.
