Bruce Pennington Posted August 7 Report Posted August 7 Star stamped blade. I don't see Mitsuoki listed in the RJT or Sesko lists. Is the "oki" right? Thanks guys!!! Quote
Ray Singer Posted August 7 Report Posted August 7 Indeed. Mitsuoki saku. * Not Endo Mitsuoki https://www.militaria.co.za/nmb/topic/5150-gendaito-mitsuokishibata-ka/ 4 Quote

Bruce Pennington Posted August 7 Author Report Posted August 7 So he is: "His real name was Masataro SHIBATA. He was born in Nishi-Maonai, Ogatsu-gun, Akita Prefecture (present-day Nishi-Maonai, Ugo-cho)." Thanks Ray! Still waiting to hear from the owner to get a photo of the date-side of the nakago. 1 Quote
Bruce Pennington Posted August 9 Author Report Posted August 9 Got the date - October 1942. Also, "328" stamped on the jiri. Posting from future searches: @vajo 1 Quote
Ray Singer Posted August 9 Report Posted August 9 You can see the slope of his kanji in this Mitsuoki matches the date in a typical Ka mei example. 3 Quote
