    @JohnFlin From the fuzzy photo,that mark looks like 連 rather than 南。The better photo would help.
  5. BANGBANGSAN

    1.氏房 Ujifusa 2.以安來（鋼）造 Use Yasugi steel to make it 3.昭和十四年 Showa 14th Year 1939， looks like there should be more kanji about which month there. 4.桜に昭 = Shō within/inside a cherry blossom inspection mark 5.二十四 24 You need to show the full tang instead of the close-up photo.

    The more I look and compare to the other one more I am towards Steve's opinions, it's legit. These 35xxx are tricky.

    Steve Besides the Bohi， the shape of scabbard drag and the quality of scabbard throat is also got my concern for fairly early 30K Series, it should be better made? And the Ser# is a little small in size and has too much space between numbers. Those are just my thoughts, I could be wrong. But if it's a repro, then it's a really good one.

    The date is :皇紀二千六百三年仲冬 1943 December 仲冬=中冬（Mid-winter), the second month of winter that year. The 冬至 winter started on November 8th in 1943.

    I think is the same mark,but don't know what is it.I'm thought it could be 悟 or 恒 ，but it maybe Korean character instead of Chinese? Something like 명 Myeo meaning 明。I don't know...

    Here is what 成瀬関次 wrote in his book 實戰刀譚 外装の毀損最も多かりしは柄の部位にして、柄の折損、柄糸の摩滅、目釘穴を中心とする諸故障は其の数修理全部の七割に達し、柄の如何に大切なるかを切実に感ぜしめたり。 The most common damage of the fitting is the handle, such as broken handle, wear of handle wrap, and ana has reached 70% of all repairs. 今野昭宗(Left)was in 栗原修理団 Akihide's repair team, he later work under 成瀬関次(Right).
