    Bruce, as I'm on holidays at the moment, I will post all fittings pictures on 16.8., when I return home.. All fittings have number 22 (add puctures which I have on phone). There is also red seal on wood (Tsuka), under fuchi.. Regards, Bojan

    Yes, I finded this interesting info in old post,..both numbers are so close, so I tought there must be some JRT system. As my Gunto Koshirae is en suite and all fittings have matching numbers (not the same as number on Nakago), must be number on Nakago something else than a assembly number.. Bojan S.

    Guess, if your's Kunitake was made in 1942 with number 487, my was made by him January 1943, and has number 490..Could be Kunitake's sword production numbering? Regards, Bojan S.
  15. shibeni
    Bruce, all fittings numbers on my example have no.22.Tsuka has some red stamp. Thinking JRT or just Kunitake's smiths have their own marking sytem. Maybe fittings and Tsuka, Koshirae were assebled in other workshop.

    So hand made swords were made by the JRT smiths, inspected, marked and than given to officers..or officers can choose sword in some lavel of JRT swordsmith? And the arsenal numbers were to track which officer recived which sword? Bojan S.

    Sword is star stamped: 堀川治右衛門國威 (Horikawa Jiuemon Kunitake) . Date is, 1943. There is a number in the base of nakago..any info about this (490) numbering in traditional made Gendaito. Thanx Bojan S.
