@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.

John You and I both like them, but seems not too many people interested in those arsenal machine made Zohei-to.

+1! Even in perfect condition with the original tassel,2K is on the high side in my opinion.

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。

The sword you would never part with?
BANGBANGSAN replied to PNSSHOGUN's topic in Military Swords of Japan
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.- 19 replies
