    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?
