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.

The Mysterious "w" Stamp!
BANGBANGSAN replied to Bruce Pennington's topic in Military Swords of Japan
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. -
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.

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

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