    Thank you for your explanation. I have also seen that sword on Yahoo, and like my sword, the blade has no markings. Apart from that, I haven't found a third sword of the same model. I appreciate the information you provided. I suspect that this sword might be a royal gift sword gunto presented by the Army University during the late Meiji or early Taisho period. Regarding heat treatment, I am also puzzled. It seems that there was no heat treatment involved. Sam

    Thank you! Hahaha, actually, this was purchased in Japan. There are indeed interesting varieties preserved locally in China, but the condition of preservation is generally not very good. Sam

    Dear Peter Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately, the Japanese person who sold it to me knows nothing about it. The seller only knows that it belonged to an army officer. Sam

    Thank you for your reply！I am currently researching how to post clearer photos, haha. Actually, there are some differences in the front area of this compared to Ohmura's Murata. This is also the point that puzzles me.

    Recently, I acquired a Meiji 19 sword. The Habaki indicates that it is a royal gift gunto. The blade itself puzzles me. I suspect it might be a special Murata sword, but I'm not certain. Therefore, I seek your assistance in identifying the model of this sword and the approximate period of the royal gift gunto (its script is different from that of the Showa era). Thank you.
