  1. Thomas Thank for your correction!
  2. Iga 伊賀 is the name of city .
  3. It says 伊賀大明神 Iga Daimyojin。大明神 is one of god's name of Japanese 神教 Shinto.
  4. It says 天照山 Tanshozan 乙 Otsu on the tang. I guess it was made in 天照山鍛煉場Tanshozan Forgin workshop ?They made alot of Kai Gunto.
  5. Check these Traditional VS Simplified Kanji like 算 VS 祘,you will not know it's the same Kanji if you never learn how to write them. Kanji on Photo 3 :直 真 具 其 县。you can see the difference .It's tricky sometimes when people did't write it standard.
  6. Bruce found a 松 mark on Gunto Tang.It's in the Stamp chart. viii. ‘Matsu’ stamp found associated with tang batch or issue numbers. Significance unknown. Appears limited to blades (both signed and unsigned) found in 1944 pattern Army mounts. Rare. I saw this mark on some Type 30 bayonet.I think maybe it's from 松下電器 NATIONAL DENKI under TOKYO KOKURA ARSENAL's inspect.
  7. Fender Squier Bullet MIJ?
  8. Mark on Photo 5 looks like 岐 Gifu
  9. Bruce He wrote 助 differently as well.sometimes smith use simple way to write thire signature .You can saw the similar writng on the tang from other smith .
  10. Looks like 直助 Naosuke (野口健一)。昭和十九年十二月,1944,December.
  11. Is it in Gunto mount?
  12. More like 5 hours .Anyway,I think KOA ISSIN MANTETSU swords are great Gunto,many Japanese officers like them.Many collectors love KOA ISSIN swords as well,and I am one of them.
  13. Bruce This is NOT my sword,and I don't think it has signature on the tang.Give another thought,力 means Power,you can see that kanji on some flag and sennienbari. Trystan
  14. Not 九,it's 力
  15. There is a Showa smith name 一心 Isshin ,civilian name 谷川慶治 Tanigawa Yoshiharu,he is on the list of 軍刀(昭和刀)関鍛治刀匠名簿232名( 232 rigistered Seki Smith name book who make Gunto/Showa To). He use signature:一心,谷川一心 and 関谷川一心作。 http://www.touken-kasugado.com/faq_2.html
  16. Not the same Knji.The one you post is 夢,on the tang is 豐佐。
  17. 力 mark on Kai gunto tang.
  18. Bruce Those numbers are :二五九六 2596,一二五一 1251,一二九三 1293,二七六七 2767,and 一二二五 1225. Trystan
  19. 70006東&名101557 are authetic,others are all Chinese fakes. 名101557
  20. Thomas,thanks for the info.So Both 岐(Gifu)&刀(To/Knife)are ues by 関市(Seki)Factory。
  21. On Bill's page,the box says 朝鮮 總X(督)=Choson(North Korea) Governor.So ,it might be a gift from 天皇 Emperor to the occupied North Korea Governor.
  22. Yes,水 means water,and pronunciation is Mizu.
  23. Its' Type 98 Gunto with older Mumei blade.
  24. Thomas This fuchi looks like copper plated alloy to me.
  25. The first mark is 水- Water-Mizu
