Butch Posted November 6, 2022 Report Posted November 6, 2022 Bruce sorry I am late getting back to you .. Having just taken the sword apart I cannot see any markings only the name of the smith and the date the blade was forged … Is it because the blade as high quality fittings compared to my other so called Type 3s that it could have been a private commission to make the sword reason behind it could be the family Mon badge attached to the sword ? Many thanks Gareth 1 1 Quote
Bruce Pennington Posted November 6, 2022 Author Report Posted November 6, 2022 Thanks for the update, Gareth! I think you’re right about it being a private order, or possibly it was sold through one of the many private shops. No worries about response time. The home life is first priority. Quote
Bruce Pennington Posted February 11, 2024 Author Report Posted February 11, 2024 Here's a partial one on a Type 95, found by @Beater 1 Quote
Bruce Pennington Posted October 14, 2024 Author Report Posted October 14, 2024 This one is on a mumei, star-stamped blade, found on this ima-usa.com site. The kabutogane is pretty bare, so maybe late-war? They had already translated the writing on the cover. Looks like shipping/surrender info 1 Quote

Bruce Pennington Posted August 27 Author Report Posted August 27 Here's one posted by @Eric_P. Eric, what kind of blade was in this? Quote
Eric_P Posted August 28 Report Posted August 28 Hey Bruce, this cover came with what I believe is an early Edo period wakizashi in shirasaya. I am not convinced that these have always gone together. If I can figure out what any of the markings are I will let you know. Thanks, Eric 1 Quote
Bruce Pennington Posted October 11 Author Report Posted October 11 An interesting one posted by @Francis Wick HERE. Waiting for translators, but it seems the officer might have written his surrender info on the cavas cover: Quote

Eric_P Posted November 13 Report Posted November 13 Here is a canvas cover on a type 95 NCO. Located here: https://www.baystatemilitaria.com/WWII/WWIIGermanJap.htm Eric 2 Quote
John C Posted 9 hours ago Report Posted 9 hours ago Canvas cover with ink stamp on a type 94/98. Pink curling ribbon probably not original. https://www.ebay.com/itm/187827346096? John C. 1 Quote
Tensho Posted 8 hours ago Report Posted 8 hours ago Saw that one listed on ebay. Looks like a piece together of original(tsuka and saya) and not original parts(tsuba and blade) not sure what is going on with that blade. The saya cover caught my eye, unfortunate about everything else. 1 Quote
John C Posted 8 hours ago Report Posted 8 hours ago Agreed. I think someone had it out of the scabbard when they tripped and fell against a grinder - multiple times. John C. Quote
