    Thomas I agree with you on this
  2. BANGBANGSAN
    Both swords are nice,but I personally like Showa To in Gunto fitting better.
  3. BANGBANGSAN
    Must be a wrong typo, should be 臣 instead of 巨。Guy is right,Japanese 義臣 should be YOSHIOMI,I was making a mistake to YOSHIMASA.

    Bruce It look like 恆-Constant to me PS:鉢 means POT

    That fixe of the end of the tang can be buff and make it look better than now

    Where is the Mekugi hole in the middle if it's 造兵刀 Tang?

    Your sword looks like 軍属刀(Army civilian employee sword). This style of Gunto shows up all the time, nothing special about the fitting(wood saya with leather cover), unless the blade is special. later war NCOs allow using their family blade due to the shortage of Arsenal issue NCO sword. Your sword may be one of those. http://ohmura-study.net/728.html

    Bruce IJA use 曹長 Sergeant Major 軍曹 Sergeant 伍長Corporal, those guys normally wearing NCO sword. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ranks_of_the_Imperial_Japanese_Army IJN use 一等兵曹 Petty officer first class 二等兵曹 Petty officer second class 三等兵曹 Petty officer third class https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ranks_of_the_Imperial_Japanese_Navy

    Thomas The rework Number 2308 I posted is from 5737.That made it 9 examples.
  11. BANGBANGSAN
    Rank is 軍曹 Sergeant。It dose have kanji 水上 ,it could be name of place or like what you think-Navy.
  12. BANGBANGSAN
    Bruce I agree with you ,this is original copper handle NCO sword tang for sure.Maybe field repair instead of factory repair though, who knows.
  13. BANGBANGSAN
    Tang from another sword with NO mekugi hole?Not likely.
  14. BANGBANGSAN
    Matt，there are some blade like that,check these.
  15. BANGBANGSAN
    Not put together but original with unmatched scabbard, maybe blade was cleaned. The fix of the end of the tang is the reason we saw some copper handle NCO and later NCO added a second mekugi hole on the tang.
  16. BANGBANGSAN
    It's kind of hard to find Nco Sarute .You might use the wire Sarute for Type 98 if you can't find one for type 95.
  17. BANGBANGSAN
    I‘m going to buy a copy
  18. BANGBANGSAN
    It looks like 濃州住良光鍛之
  19. BANGBANGSAN
    Yes, it's a little confusing, Both 俊光and敏光 pronouncing Toshimitsu.
  20. BANGBANGSAN
    Bruce His sword made by 藤原兼直(Fujiwara Kanenao) instead of 石原兼直(Ishihara Kanenao)
  21. BANGBANGSAN
    Bruce It's 備前國赤崎住俊光作（今泉俊光）not 敏光
  22. BANGBANGSAN
    There is no signature on the tang of the NCO sword.
  23. BANGBANGSAN
    It is Chinese copy
  24. BANGBANGSAN
    There are some copper handle added second Mekugi hole like yours.
  25. BANGBANGSAN
    Bruce 助宗 is not Seki smith.He is 備前國（備州）sword smith.I think he also called 備州長船助宗。
