I just picked up this type 32 today. It seems to be a very late one, with a serial number of 129763. It has a blackened finish, including the Saya. By the sharpness of the cross-hatching of the handle, it seems to have seen very little use.

Douglas,

You know, of course, that you're not going to get away without showing us more of the blade and saya!!!

 

Does it have matching #s on the drag?

 

How long - 36" or 39"? The 39 (Ko) was for cavalry, the 36 (Otsu) for foot soldiers.

There's really not much to see with the blade-it's in pretty good condition. Isn't this an "otsu" by virtue of its serial number?
