That is the upper left side of the tang and the symbol in front of the numbers why with leg indicates 1944. Su symbol

Thanks everyone for the guidance 😃

The katakana that looks like a seven with a tail on it I found that designates 1944. The other Mark is the to for the Tokyo first arsenal.

The blade is fullered

Ok, here is another one. A type 98. Matching serial numbers 112 with figure shown and on the tang a different figure followed by 112. None on the scabbard that I can find. I don’t know why, but all I can do is insert two pictures so here’s 2 showing the markings. Bottom mark is on the tang edges maybe someone can tell me how to reduce the size of my pictures or how to upload more pictures. Thanks, Mike

Thanks guys, you have been of great help

Blade is bright and beautiful. No signs of sharpening. No rust or dents in scabbard and has a dark patina.

Scabbard serial no. Is 77861. Also the scabbard is dark olive green. Handle is missing the wire loop on end of it.

Non matching serial numbers

Thanks Sam, that was quick and helps me out a lot. Any idea of value?

Just picked up this NCO type 95 and would like some help identifying it. Serial no. 140959 read with blade tip upward. Wont let me unload more pictures Thanks, Mike
