TYPE 98 Officers Shin Gunto Question

[ChiburiW]

Good morning. Still in the learning curve here. On a collector’s preference would a Type 98 made/marked Kanemasa 1943 NA stamp or a Yoshinoa Showa NA stamp 43-44 be more collectible/desirable. Condition would be basically the same for both. Thanks again for any help.

Hi Chris, would have to see them but they are probably roughly worth the same. I would go for whichever one has original tassel, nicer mounts, longer blade etc.
