Gents,

Could use some help with this one!  It's in a 1935 Showa-stamped blade and is the earliest date, so far known of the Showa stamp.  So I'd really appreciate getting the smith name for my Stamp Survey.

 

Thanks for all you do!

The gunto is a bit odd with civilian tsuka and tsuba, mounted in a canvas covered saya.  Two holes in the nakago, one punched the other might be drilled.
