It could also be an inspection team mark ,similar to those on the Type 30 bayonet.I think they often use an abbreviation of the location of the team or the team leader's family name . If that's the case, I have no idea what the abbreviation would be. There are quite a few family names that include "寿." Here are a few examples: 寿田 (Suda), 寿崎 (Suzaki), 寿松 (Sumatsu), 寿山 (Suyama), 寿川 (Sugawa), 寿本 (Sumoto), 寿野 (Suno), and 寿藤 (Sutō).

Since Suya exported 900 swords to Great Qing Imperial dynasty of China(大清帝國) that were similar to Type 32 in June 1906, it is possible that they were also involved in Type 32 production, but there is no evidence to support this.

Yep, this one has been sitting on eBay for over two years. The seller just wants too much for it.

That's the mark of 金城鑿岩機株式会社 (Kaneshiro Seizo KK), one of the subcontractors that made Type 30 bayonets. I mentioned it in another post. It's different from the encircled star 'K' mark on this sword. Here is more information about Army sword steel 刀剣鋼(陸軍). http://ohmura-study.net/241.html http://ohmura-study.net/206.html

1892 Type 25 survey assistance needed
BANGBANGSAN replied to John C's topic in Military Swords of Japan
Thomas I can't answer questions #1 and #3 until a few months later since the sword is in FL and not with me. It has the rivet and finger loop in the crossguard unfilled and has partial leather remaining. -
