    Saw these photos of a 略装 98, ONLY 3 photos NO other photos. It had the K 171 assemble number on all the parts, and a Star mark on the tang, but the guy state there is NO signature Or Date other than the star stamp, the blade length is 55cm.

    Bought Ohmura Tomoyuki 大村･紀征. Shinsetsu tatakau Nihontō 真説 戦う日本刀 [True Theory, Japanese Fighting Sword:]. BAB Japan, 2019.

    Yes, I agree with you, Steve. That is not standard for 95's. Even though the patina looks old, I still think the washer is a very big chance postwar mod instead of wartime fixed.

    Looks like 造兵刀

    Very possible!The number maybe 277 or 271?

    One scabbard throat can see very clear X56 ,not sure was is the first digit .The other one is kind of hard to see, but the number t's there.I think Steve saw/have other example like this.

    Bruce Hers is a blueprint photo from Showa 12 year（1937）of an Electric locomotive for coal mine use, it has an SMR logo with an outer circle. Kind of like the mark on that C96.

    Thomas I just got another photo from the sword I post ,other side had scabbard release button, and it's not in the center.

    Got photo of other side handle of this sword ,it has 駐爪 already. So, what do you guys think this mark is?If not it's not "X marks for the 駐爪".
  17. BANGBANGSAN
    I know what 駐爪 is.I was trying to say if that is "X marks for the 駐爪". That 80's photo George post looks like the same mark on the Fuchi I post.

    Thanks Thomas

    What book is this?
  21. BANGBANGSAN
    Bruno I don't think those Gunsui to is at the same level as Mantetsu in any way. I just want to have one of this Company made Gunto from WW2 in my collection, not because of the quality of the blade or smith, just a part of wartime history.

    Yasukuni Smith 靖國刀匠

    It was sold for close to $1600

    Hamish I don't think this sword was Japanese-made and issue to Japanese troops either. But, the Japanese and Chinese all called the military sword 軍刀 （Gunto/JunDao). So, It is a Gunto, just not for the IJA.
