Hi all,
just wanted to show some images of a “Type 3” (I am aware around the name/type discussions)
Came across this version not too long ago and believe it to be in great condition and asset to the collection. Trust the name and dating is correct, images just for your info.
best regards

Good day to you all
Recently i acquired a Gunto in a very good condition and from what I know, learned, heard and figured out the translation of the Mei reads as in the picture. Would appreciate it a lot if one of the experts on this forum could perform a check and verify if it is correct.
Thank you very much and with best regardsErwin

Good day to you all,
Recently came across this sword which was made in 1941. The blade itself comes from the era but the mountings seems to be a mix of late Edo and WO2 add-ons. The tsuba, tsuka and green type Ito at least I would think.
You would kind of think the oposite as benchmark, an older blade fitted with in WO2 style. Could it be that an older family blade was replaced with a less expensive version to take to war? just guessing here…..
Anyhow, thought I would shere some pictures for you info.
best regards and have a great remainder of the day

Hi all,
a bit of search revealed that the Jumyo school has its origin from Yamato. The unique name means something like life span or longevity and its tradition continued for centuries till the end of Edo in 1868.
i was told this sword was from around 1927 so was trying to find some clues as to where to position it in time.
can someone tell me what the second part of the signing means“十六年”
thank you so much for your assistance

Hi all,
thank you so much for your involvement and information
I agree on the Kiri style yasurime, it is the first I have in the collection as well.
I am more into WW2 types but bought this version to help someone out.
Thank you Uwe for you information: Seems to be signed “壽命” (Jumyō)
“十六年”
was hoping it would be dated but guess not? So Jumyo is all it states and will try to find out more info so I can somehow place it in time. The Kissaki is also very large.
thank you again, always extremely impressed you knowledge and respons time
Best regards and a great day to you all

Dear all,
can you please help me with the translation of the Mei please.
I bought this sword recently and think it was made around 1927 but truly not too sure.The sword has the leather cover ( although it has seen better days) over the Saya so fairly sure it has been around WO2.
Also added some detail shots that will hopefully help
thank you for your help, much appreciated
best regards

Thank you Chris for all the time and spend on this.
always amazed by the enormous pool of knowledge in this group and the willingness to help, so thank you
Indeed, the sword is offered for purchasing and ai am still looking for a family blade refurbished for the WO2 but certainly not desperate on this . Time enough
i am also looking at what seems to be a 17 century blade in WOll mountings which is interesting. That apparently is a Tachi version in WOll gunto mounting but bares no signature to be sure. Anyhow, more to study onhave a great day and thank you again
