Thomas My friend（772） and mine（663） NCR sword both has numbered habaki. There is another NCR sword I saw with no Ser# on habaki, and a bare blade without fitting has # on habaki, owner said it's an NCR sword... That makes 3 out of 4 has Ser# on the habaki

Yes，the Polish version is also good.

I Heard this version is from India, a lot better than this Chinese one.

Please study this link http://ohmura-study.net/790.html It's very useful

Unfortunately, this is not original Type 95 NCO sword, it's a copy.

Thomas Do you have photo for them?I knew a guy had NCR sword also,I will ask hime and see if his habaki numbered.

Bruce Thomas already post the link ワ 六 = WA 6　No pictures. http://ohmura-study.net/222.html ワ 一三四 = WA 134. https://www.militaria.co.za/nmb/topic/28631-railway-swords-stamps/?do=findComment&comment=290148 ワ 一五八 = WA 158. https://yakiba.com/Kat_Mantetsu4.htm https://www.militaria.co.za/nmb/topic/26165-attention-mantetsu-owners-a-survey/?do=findComment&comment=265512

Thomas Thanks!

Thomas Do you have photos or link for the these 13 ワ series commercial blades?

Bruce I saw a 1940 Autumn short Mantetsu，thought you might like to add to your chart.

I think so

Steve Thank you for help complete the translation, I will update that.

Steve Thanks!Make sense!So the second one should be 品目 員數？

Steve You might already aware ,some copper handles are not that stable and that's the reason they add another hole on the tang later for the aluminum handle. Here is a photo of the Gunto repair team.

This is NOT from my sword. I got these photos from my friend, a guy he knew had a cooper handle Type 95, he decided to took off the handle to check it out since it's a little loose. Guess what ,he found a repairing slip inside, seems it's been repaired before. With SteveM's help , it complete translated now. Hope you guys enjoy this piece of history. 隊號(Designation of troops)/麥田部隊永...（Mugita troop Naga...) 品目(Item) 員数(Number Of Items) 修理箇所(Repaired Spot) 故障部位(Broken Part) PS:Last photo, on the back of the paper, it has two Chines women. Maybe this repairing team was in China?

I would buy it too

No.2 is North China Transportation Company 華北交通株式会社 . https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_China_Transportation_Company The one I post is from Manchukuo National Railway 滿洲國國有鐵道 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manchukuo_National_Railway

It looks like cloud

Thomas I found a photo of 滿洲國有鐵道 Brass plate

Like what John says,Gendai smiths made sword in Arsenal, normally has smith name on it. 大阪陸軍造兵廠 川野貞重作之 Osaka Army Arsenal Kawano Sadashige 東京第一陸軍造兵廠 宣威 Tokyo first Army Arsenal Nobutaka

Thanks Bruce!
