John C Posted February 4 Author Report Posted February 4 (edited) That's interesting. I'm curious if any particular stamp, mark, or design feature was included to differentiate those from ones used in Japan. And are these counted in the 17,000 or so specimens that are commonly associated with the Meiji 25 serial number range? John C. Edited February 4 by John C added content Quote
Kiipu Posted February 4 Report Posted February 4 John & Trystan, those Australian swords were made to a British pattern. See the 2nd edition of F&G way towards the back. Will get a page number later on. 1 Quote
John C Posted February 5 Author Report Posted February 5 Thank you, Thomas. I briefly thumbed through my 1st edition and could not find a reference (probably just missed it). Let us know the chapter or page number when you get a chance. John C. Quote
