With my recent sword purchase there was also a sword license.  I found it a little surprising as the dating used on the license is in a combination of Japanese eras/months/days and Arabic numerals, eg 昭和 48, whereas most other examples of sword licenses I've seen have their dates totally in Japanese characters / numbers. 

 

Out of curiosity --as I've no other experience with such licenses -- is this form unusual, or simply the style which was used during a certain time period? This license, presuming I'm following the correct style, would be for Showa 48 or 1973.   Photo below.
