    Dawson’s book features this kind of belt. That pocket is alternatively designed to hold the scabbard during Kendo practice or sometimes in combat.

    If you ever come across 103062, you could offer cash plus a trade for the scabbard throat, just in case the owner doesn't want to ship the whole scabbard。

    That’s a good idea, but it’s not easy. Aside from what Sam just mentioned, a lot of Type 95s were sold into China, including non-matching ones. Usually, sword dealers will have someone grind off the serial number on the scabbard, re-stamp it to match the blade, and sell it as a matching set. That being said, the original number on the scabbard is gone forever。

    Yes ,it should be 1921.

    The inscription reads like Simplified Chinese for '近江守长幸作', but honestly, it’s just a Japanese wannabe.

    It wasn’t uncommon for a 曹長(Sergeant Major) to carry a non-Type 95 NCO sword. According to the 1945 regulations, NCOs were permitted to carry their own gunto or similar sword. What’s particularly interesting here is that this sword is fitted with an officer's tassel (company-grade), which technically shouldn't be the original match.

    From the markings found on Type 95 swords and other gunto, it can be observed that many sword shops holding military contracts used marks consisting of a cherry blossom outer border combined with their own symbol or abbreviation. The Nakano Shoten mark appearing here, along with the anchor mark within a cherry blossom, indicate that this was an order connected to the 水交社 (Naval Officers’ Club).

    為” (traditional Chinese) and “为” (simplified Chinese) are two forms of the same character. You are right,the inscrib one the tang should be traditional Chinese "靖國為和平“。
