BANGBANGSAN replied to Bruce Pennington's topic in Military Swords of Japan
I asked him again if he can find more photos or details, he found one more photo (not full tang,I'm sorry)with 南 mark, and partial Mei shows it's not KOA he said it's 滿鐵鍛造之。 -

Thomas Unfortunately, I do not have other photos,I would already post them if I have more. But for the 2 photos I have,lt looks like eBay seller ericowazamono's old sell,he might still have photos of that sword in his data.Our member @Ontario_Archaeology just bought a 1938 Mantetsu N356 from him not long ago. -

Bruce As I said, these are all the photos I've been provided. I asked already, no other photos, not my friend's swords, he just found photos for me from some old file he saved a long time ago. -
@Kiipu Thomas Do you think the mark on the blade is the same mark as the 大 Mark?It says on Fullers Page 226, Dai(or Tai) stamp. Significance unknown.Has only been found on blades dated 1945. Very rare.

An RS gunto, mumei … for George T
BANGBANGSAN replied to paulatim's topic in Military Swords of Japan
Those 2 wood saya RS, one is my friend's, one is from the internet. Both are not likely Gendai but arsenal blade. The one I use to have is in the metal saya cheaper version, not Gendai blade, but I forgot if there is any arsenal mark or numbers on the tang, it was a long time ago. -

BANGBANGSAN replied to paulatim's topic in Military Swords of Japan
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. -
