    There are some blade drawings in the Toyosuke thread. The one I posted was for the navy's anti-rust blade. Who was ToyoSuke?

    Mike, I do not recall seeing one of these with a date before. The below should get you started on researching it. Swordsmith: 正房 Masafusa. Date: 皇紀二千五百九十九年八月 = 1939 August. Hotstamp: 眞金入 = magane iri or shin-gane iri. Thanks for posting!

    Matt, if by chance you still have pictures available, can I see the other side of the tang? 天照山鍛錬場鍛之 = Tenshōzan Tanrenjō kitaeru kore. Mal, is this an example of higaki-yasurime 桧垣鑢目?

    The second picture with habaki number 31 is coming from Hartleys. Alas, the five auction pictures were low resolution. In addition, the link no longer works. But all is not lost Trystan! A mei, a very odd/questionable Nakago, a weird mark and katakana writing.

    Pictures of 131 can be seen via the link below. I think you have the highest that I have seen so far. Thanks for sharing Nicholas. An Appraisal on Some Japanese Swords Please Sword Number 3

    If one really whats to get into the minutia of Type 32 & Type 95 swords, look at the end of your sword knot. Now go over to the post below. This was the first thing I noticed when I looked at your pictures yesterday. Tassel Production Kaizen
