It was suggested by Bruce Pennington I contact you on this. I have what has been identified as a special order light-weight Murata-to sword. In researching what Colonel Murata did all I find is the same stuff repeated thru-out the Net. I have the appropriate books including the new "Swords of the Emperor" and hardly a paragraph in any and only photos of handles in the new book.
Have you anything?

This sword looks more like a 造兵刀(Zohei -to) instead of a 村田刀。 Murata swords typically have inscriptions on the tang。
