    @Kiipu Maybe that mark relate to 日本特殊鋼合資會社？ 日本特殊鋼合資会社（読み）にほんとくしゅこうごうしかいしゃ 世界大百科事典内の日本特殊鋼合資会社の言及 【特殊鋼】より …以降，特殊鋼は兵器の材料として軍需を中心に生産された。大正に入り1915年に電気製鋼所(現，大同特殊鋼)，16年に日本特殊鋼合資会社(現，大同特殊鋼)と民間の専業メーカーが設立された。しかし軍需中心は変わらず，第2次大戦終結前の生産のピークである44年の63万tは戦争継続のための増産によるものである。

    Chirs I do not have all 8 types of the NCO sword, but I do have quite a few Type 95 and Zohei-to（造兵刀）， not as many as John or Stegel though.
  4. BANGBANGSAN
    John You and I both like them, but seems not too many people interested in those arsenal machine made Zohei-to.

    Thomas Thanks for decode these 篆字。I think they were maybe simplified as 木田芳系 or 木田芳圣 instead of full characters 村田芳経。

    Thomas Here is some info about Han Bing Siong https://www.vriendenvanbronbeek.nl/3 Nieuws20180326ZwaardYutakaishioeda.htm After Gracy dies in 1964, the sword comes into the possession of Han Bing Siong (1932-2005), an expert on the Japanese sword. The sword of Yutaka Nishioeda has been widely published in various books and publications at home and abroad.

    For me, I couldn't part with my gunto that was giving to Flight Engineer 2/Lt Willam Warburton from Flying tiger by the Chinese Communist new 4th army 4th division, which saves him from the Japanese army. Warburton was on B29 from 40th Bomb Group plane #237. It was shot down on November 11, 1944, on the mission to bombing target in Nanking.It's no a pretty sword but the story behind it is priceless. The group photo is NOT 2/Lt Willam's crew but other flying tiger pilots rescued by N4A.
