    I don't recall seeing any of Nagamitsu and Emura's swords have Star stamps. Those blades were made by many training smiths under the name of 長光 and 江村, some are better than the others, the quality may vary ,maybe because of that, the Army does not supply them Tamahagane. So, even the swords were traditionally made Gendaito ，it still can't receive the Amry star stamp since not using 玉鋼。

    @Bruce Pennington @Kiipu Found something interesting. This 1941 昭和辛巳春 the 13th series ワ375, has Suya tsuba numbered H 一六二 マ. And the other 1941 昭和辛巳春 the 14th series カ353， it also has Suya tsuba numbered H 二二二 マ， only 60 numbers apart. Maybe they used the same batch parts from Suya. What do you guys think?

    George Unfortunately, I do not have the detail of that photo. You're right, many of those 女子挺身隊 working in the sword industry. Some of them also working in the arsenal. This photo shows 女子挺身隊 worked in 小倉陸軍造兵廠（福岡）March 1943.Some of the girls in the photo may have died during the US air raid on June 16, 1944. 1944年（昭和19年）6月16日 北九州市がB-29による大空襲を受ける この空襲で倉庫が破壊され、約80人が死亡した。死者の半数は女子挺身隊であった。
