Alaen Posted April 25, 2023 Report Posted April 25, 2023 Hi probably some explain this over the time i start interesting in military mount and I have some different types but I noticed that type 94 rarely see for sale and hard to find I know the most easy way to identifying is the second ashi but in some case one has Ben lost or removed I will like to learn what other part are different from the type 98 I have this example that maybe is a type 94?

PNSSHOGUN Posted April 26, 2023 Report Posted April 26, 2023 Hi Alaen, as your sword has an Aluminium Saya it is unlikely to be a Type 94. This type of Saya seems to have been introduced in the late 1930's/early 40's. Quote
Bruce Pennington Posted April 26, 2023 Report Posted April 26, 2023 John is the guy to ask, but from what I've learned (from him!) is: - Double haikan (ahsi) or signs on the saya that one used to be there - Centered chuso button - Thicker tsuba There are probably more signs, but these are all I know. You can find centered buttons, like the one above on Type 98s. So, this alone is not indicative of a gunto being a 94. Quote
