Arsenal Mark on RJT sword Fittings

I think IJN use Type 0 for the 1940 model (零式艦上戦闘機 Mitsubishi A6M Type 0 carrier fighter).IJA use Type 100 for the model of the same year(百式司令部偵察機 Mitsubishi Ki-46,Type 100 Command Reconnaissance Aircraft)。 So, If I have to choose between Type 100 and Type 0, I'll pick Type 100 for that reason, it's an Army sword. But I found out more people know what sword I'm talking about when I use Type 3 than the other names.

Sometime just hard for people to change what they prefer or used to. Rinji, Type 3, Type 100, Type 44, NLF sword, whatever you feel like to call it, as long as we all know what is it. Like Paratrooper bayonet.Most of people call it type 2 (after the Type 2 rifle),some call it Type 100 ,some call it Paratrooper bayonet,the other call it test No.1 Knife/Bayonet .But the official name looks like it should be 試製一式短劍 Test Type 1 short sword.

@Bruce Pennington A Rinji maybe from one of the 山上(Yamagami) brothers,宗利(Munetoshi)。 It is dated 昭和十六年十月。 The fitting # is 38.Ser# on the tang looks like ラ62 or 762 . Maybe Thomas @Kiipu can tell us what is it. -

群水刀 use 群水鋼Gunsui steel made by 群水電化工業 Gunsui Electrification Industry, it was developed earlier than Mantetsu's 日下純鉄。 It's very good steel for Gunto. Use google translate on this page http://ohmura-study.net/208.html,it explains all. -
