Bruce Pennington Posted March 25, 2022 Report Posted March 25, 2022 Volker, quite a beauty! No date I presume? And those stamps! It's the first blade I've recorded with both a 阪 Saka and a イbefore the number! All but one (now 2) of the blades I have with these kanji are Nagamitsu. The other one was a Sadakatsu blade. Anyone know what prefecture Ryushi was from? Nagamitsu was Okayama and Sadakatsu was Osaka. So this イstamp must be an arsenal inspector or something. Also, backs up the idea that these mune numbers are Arsenal numbers not fittings shops. 1 Quote
francois2605 Posted March 25, 2022 Report Posted March 25, 2022 Bruce, Nagamitsu = "Ichihara Ichiryushi Nagamitsu" as per http://www.japaneseswordindex.com/naga.htm Quote

Volker62 Posted March 25, 2022 Author Report Posted March 25, 2022 Bruce, thanks for reply no date, or any other kind of stamp on the swords nakago Quote
Kiipu Posted March 25, 2022 Report Posted March 25, 2022 The nakago mune markings of 阪 イ143 are the Ōsaka Army Arsenal final inspection mark followed by the arsenal assigned serial number. In this case, it a 1st イ series and not that of the proceeding 0 (zero) series. These markings are common on Ōsaka swords but are rarely mentioned or photographed. I am unaware of anyone seriously studying these swords like the Mantetsu swords are. I briefly touched upon this subject in the thread below. Stamp Survey 1 Quote

That clears that all up. On 3/25/2022 at 6:32 PM, Kiipu said: I am unaware of anyone seriously studying these swords like the Mantetsu swords are. Expand I track them when I can find one. They just don't seem to be as common as Mantetsu, Showa-stamped, or Seki-stamped blades. I'd be glad to cover them in more depth if we can find them! Quote

IJASWORDS Posted March 28, 2022 Report Posted March 28, 2022 Bruce, most people miss seeing the stamps, being small. Fairly common, see one of mine. 1 Quote
