    Petition: Request for Establishing the Provisional Specification for the Type 91 Cavalry Sword（乘馬刀） and Type 91 Foot Soilder Sword(徒步刀） 27 February, Shōwa 7 (1932)

    The Type 91 sword, which came in foot‑soldier（徒步） and cavalry（乘馬） variants, was the direct predecessor to the Type 95. It stayed experimental and was never mass‑produced. Take a look the experimental sword(試製軍刀） and “32‑modified sword” （改修軍刀）Nick referenced in his Type 95 thread. https://www.warrelics.eu/forum/Japanese-militaria/short-development-history-type-95-gunto-676112/

    The Type 95s these two Sikh soldiers are holding don’t seem to have a sarute either.

    This NCO practicing kendo has his hand over the hilt, so we can’t tell if there’s a sarute. If there was one, it’d definitely mess with his grip。

    In fact, according to official Japanese military documents, there was also a cavalry(騎兵） variant of the Type 95 NCO sword. Chinese cavalry units also use some the Type 95 as their cavalry sword. The cavalry variant was slightly more expensive,the main difference was presumably that the cavalry version came with a special hanger.

    According to Ohmura‑san, two of Akihide's students, AKIKUNI (昭國) and AKITOSHI (昭壽), were from Kanagawa 神奈川. Both were RJT smiths.

    The katakana ト could be the first character for Tokyo. However, it was also the factory code for the 3rd Manufacturing Plant of the South Manchuria Army Arsenal.

    The first one is the same one that I post

    There are a few of these leather-covered Type 32 examples exist.

    This Type 25 turned up in China. The guard has been altered with Chinese-style decoration. It seems to be a captured war trophy left in China. I do not have clear photos of the serial number, but word is the number is 4254.

    Thomas might help you find the answer.

    Here is another 特 special marking on the tang. Per military inspection marking regulations, the designation 特 “Special” means: Adopted for special procurement pursuant to Article 11 of the Weapons Acceptance Inspection Regulations.

    There are a number of Type 30 bayonets with non‑standard configurations that were built from leftover components. It would make sense for them to do the same with Type 95 NCO swords, as they were all assembled in the arsenal.
