I appreciate the comments, thank you. It could be that the two normal ones are fake, it would be a shame. I've had them all over 25 years now. I bought them from the Bedford arms fair. I have a close up pic of the stamps that I can email to you. The late one used to have a little tag on it stating that it was made in occupied territory in the last few months of the war. I only noticed it missing today. I'm off to an arms fair in Budapest tomorrow hence the post. At least I won't be too distraught to be told (in Hungarian) that they are pants. As they were bought so long ago, I'm not too deep in to them.

Plate 51 on page 40 is my sword.

Struggling to get the other picture to upload. Not the right size.

First time poster here. I have 3 NCO swords, 2 are standard issue with a 5 digit serial number, I wonder if they can be dated. The 3rd is a late one that featured in 'Military swords of Japan's by Richard Fuller and Ron Gregory. I think the sword belonged to Richard Fuller. Any info on these swords would be great. None are in great condition if I'm honest.
