Thanks for ruining the thread

you really need to stop confusing the two lol

This is Kajiyama Yasunori (Yasutoku) not Kotani Yasunori

Thank you very much The one from aoi is mine and I noticed that the mei was thicker than other of his mei and very unusual so I was surprised. The one is very similar. Here's a comparison from left to right : Mine dated October 1936 - The one from Twitter dated February 1937 - Usual mei (thinner) dated July 1936 (sanmei)

This is Kajiyama Yasunori (Yasutoku) not Kotani Yasunori

So... Anyone has early dated Yasunori signed blades ? not takenori please. Looking to study Found only 2 dated 1936 one is mine and other is from Sanmei https://www.sanmei.c...92337_S8875_PUP.html

I think title is : 新型軍刀制定の栞 but I can't find author nor date

Expensive yes, but I think mantetsuto with the Manchuria Railroad company stamp are quite rare, aren't they ? maybe wrong
