    Smith on this one says 友広（友廣）。 But his handwriting doesn't look very good, maybe that mark is サ(Sa)for Semarang？

    It's all about the right price, Fleebay has one for sale right now, actually, it was there a while ago, the seller took it down and put it up again, can't move for 3K. In most cases, he priced his Gunto a lot higher than the market price anyway.

    Including the one showed in that thread, I saw two of those 斉燮元奨刀. The other one says 總長斉燮元奨。

    The last one looks like an NCO sword but add 石突 and 責金 from Type 98 on NCO scabbard.
  6. BANGBANGSAN
    Thomas I think the Kanji on this sword is the same as the other one, either 恆 or 悟.

    Is 日本特殊鋼合資會社 and 日本特殊鋼株式會社 the same company?

    @Kiipu Maybe that mark relate to 日本特殊鋼合資會社？ 日本特殊鋼合資会社（読み）にほんとくしゅこうごうしかいしゃ 世界大百科事典内の日本特殊鋼合資会社の言及 【特殊鋼】より …以降，特殊鋼は兵器の材料として軍需を中心に生産された。大正に入り1915年に電気製鋼所(現，大同特殊鋼)，16年に日本特殊鋼合資会社(現，大同特殊鋼)と民間の専業メーカーが設立された。しかし軍需中心は変わらず，第2次大戦終結前の生産のピークである44年の63万tは戦争継続のための増産によるものである。

    Chirs I do not have all 8 types of the NCO sword, but I do have quite a few Type 95 and Zohei-to（造兵刀）， not as many as John or Stegel though.
  11. BANGBANGSAN
    John You and I both like them, but seems not too many people interested in those arsenal machine made Zohei-to.
  12. BANGBANGSAN
    +1! Even in perfect condition with the original tassel,2K is on the high side in my opinion.
  13. BANGBANGSAN

    @Kiipu Thomas Those swords maybe made at the local smith shop by the Japanese Gunto repair team sent from Japan.
  19. BANGBANGSAN
    Maybe 恆 or 悟 ？
  20. BANGBANGSAN
    @Bruce Pennington What do you think? 155 or 551?
  21. BANGBANGSAN
    Thomas Thanks for decode these 篆字。I think they were maybe simplified as 木田芳系 or 木田芳圣 instead of full characters 村田芳経。
  22. BANGBANGSAN
    Peter Do you have photos of both sides of tang?
  23. BANGBANGSAN

    Thomas Here is some info about Han Bing Siong https://www.vriendenvanbronbeek.nl/3 Nieuws20180326ZwaardYutakaishioeda.htm After Gracy dies in 1964, the sword comes into the possession of Han Bing Siong (1932-2005), an expert on the Japanese sword. The sword of Yutaka Nishioeda has been widely published in various books and publications at home and abroad.
