Looks legit with that bohi. @Scogg could say more about if this tsuba existed in this serial range. edit. Found close example tokyo kokura http://www.guntoartswords.com/010956.html Pattern 2 = Aluminium handle - 9mm Brass tsuba - Mirrored ito. and you could learn a lot from https://www.militaria.co.za/nmb/topic/29722-type-95-gunto-worksheet/#comments

https://ebay.us/m/nrvxO4 Posting it here. Ex basara item. When could this have been made? Dsn’t look like edo period. Tsuba is signed. Saya is only 70 cm deep, also tsuka looking at tsunagi nakago dsn’t have much space. Which book could actually put some light on this topic? Mr Sesko maybe have something heavy written?

Still show us entire blade with tang even if it is mumei. No seppa and habaki goes through nakago ana?
-
@Tristan MacEwen If you could please add picture of yasurime near habaki of your example. Really neat and clean

Does it have any activity at all?

Inherited Sword Captured in Burma During WW2: Looking to Learn More
Rawa replied to CarstairsCowboy's topic in Nihonto
In my opinion saya is wooden one made for leather cover (typical robust haikan) -
If sword is in military mountings do thread in Military swords. If not go for translation assistance
-
It’s from Ed Marshall - look on first photos. Legit source. Just before becoming RJT probably
-
What about horimono? Maybe someone else was doing it? Compare to other blades with bo hi of his forging
-
Gendaito as fully traditional and showato as the rest - you can run whatever division you want and still end here. I'm adding once again division by manufacturing method.
-
Gunto- military sword. It’s all about koshirae, then you can divide by sword for showato and gendaito. Royal decree’s established specifications for gunto type - mountings/koshirae
-
So go for links first. Anyone else have maybe some thread about proper learning road?
-
Showato with seki stamp. Kane something. In download section on forum you have nice article about stamps. Dunno how describe „standard” of gunto. One mekugi ana is a standard in 94/98 gunto type. Here you have 2 so for beginning: https://japaneseswordindex.com/showato.htm then article about stamps then for koshirae: http://ohmura-study.net/900.html then books

Do you have any elements of mountings? Looks like it was mounted in tachi koshirae. Meiji mass production?
-
