Other Info and Full Description : I have decided to sell this gunto to make room for more nihonto. It is in good shape, with matching serial numbers. At some point it went through a factory refurbishment, and an older serial number on the saya was struck out and replaced with 018996, to match the blade, and a zero was added in front of the serial on the blade. The blade is still quite sharp. I believe it has a (poorly struck) Kokura Arsenal stamp and an inspection stamp and two other stamps that I'm not sure about. The leather finger loop appears to be cut off, perhaps at the time of its refurbishment, though its remains and the rivet are still present. The latch still works well. I believe it is the longer cavalry model. Let me know if you would like to see more pictures.
