BANGBANGSAN Posted November 5, 2020 Report Posted November 5, 2020 This is NOT from my sword. I got these photos from my friend, a guy he knew had a cooper handle Type 95, he decided to took off the handle to check it out since it's a little loose. Guess what ,he found a repairing slip inside, seems it's been repaired before. With SteveM's help , it complete translated now. Hope you guys enjoy this piece of history. 隊號(Designation of troops)/麥田部隊永...(Mugita troop Naga...) 品目(Item) 員数(Number Of Items) 修理箇所(Repaired Spot) 故障部位(Broken Part) PS:Last photo, on the back of the paper, it has two Chines women. Maybe this repairing team was in China? 2 1 Quote
Stephen Posted November 5, 2020 Report Posted November 5, 2020 Wonder how many NCOs are coming apart now. Quote
Shamsy Posted November 5, 2020 Report Posted November 5, 2020 That's an absolutely awesome find! Waiting for a full translation if possible. None of mine will ever be disassembled, despite some interesting stamps and apparently documents being found. 2 1 Quote

Steve You might already aware ,some copper handles are not that stable and that's the reason they add another hole on the tang later for the aluminum handle. Here is a photo of the Gunto repair team. 1 Quote

My coppers are all rock solid, but yes, I am aware there was some limited effort to modify a few that were returned for maintenance. I added a fair bit of info to a post a few months back about coppers that were returned and had a replacement iron tsuba added along with a second screw. There are a few second screws I consider to be less honest seeming examples, but I think the judgement is a case by case basis. 1 Quote
