  1. My friend had a better fitting RS with a mumei blade, it seems arsenal made with the number. There is another one just like he's, and has a very close number.
  2. @Kiipu Thomas Here is my 小倉陸軍造兵廠 gunto, date 昭和十九年六月,no star.
  3. I used to have one of these Mumei RS when I started collecting Gunto years ago, but I didn't take any photos of the tang.
  4. Is that Kai a Waki?
  5. This Kanji should be 國泰 instead of 國奏
  6. Not the same like yours but kind of close...
  7. It reminds me of these filed-made casts handle ones...
  8. @Bruce Pennington Thanks Bruce,any photo of Tōkyō 1st Army Arsenal 東 final inspection mark on the kabuto-gane? I think this was @charlie1's Mantetsu
  9. Thomas This link is gone do you know anywhere else I can find the photos of that ウ二〇 昭和壬午春 Mantetsu?
  10. @Bruce Pennington One more with broken blade 昭和辛巳春 1941 Spring 興亞一心 滿鐵作之 ワ三七五 Wa 375
  11. Steve Do you know what is the Ser# range of Mizuno?
  12. Don't feel bad, they are right next to each other on that chart, easy to mix up.
  13. I thought it was the Mizuno 水野 got canceled contract due to the poor workmanship.
  14. Are the Tsuba and Seppa all have #4 also?
  15. Ernie That's very cool!Can you post some photos of the whole sword?
  16. Bruce I'm sorry there is no photo of fitting,I assume is the normal Type 98 mount
  17. @Kiipu Thomas What do think this Kanji on the scabbard?𩋡 /鞘 for Saya ?
  18. Barehand on that blade, likely will leave the fingerprint on it.
  19. @Bruce Pennington Bruce One more 昭和壬午春(1942 Spring) 興亞一心 滿鐵謹作 ウ(U)四一四 414
  20. It doses like island made sword, but the hanger is different than all the other island made swords. It could like Fuller says "Indian or native made wartime copy sold to allied troops".I never saw any photo of Navy NCO carrying a Type 95 sword, anyone?
  21. According to Fuller, this is the Navy version NCO sword.
  22. It has an old repaint as we can see, but I'm not sure about the Navy version though. Some scabbard of the copper handle has that kind of grayish color but lighter.
  23. Or hair of George Washington?
