Hi Bruce,
I see the chart and remain a bit confused as to your query. Perhaps we are talking about two different things here? The cannonball mark was used at different times in different places to the best of my understanding. Are you asking if it was still in use by Kokura after 1940?
Regards,
Stu

Yes, communication is a terrible thing, just ask my wife! In the row concerning the Kokura use of the cannonball stamp, talks of their use of the stamp even after the "organization revision in 1940". Isn't this a reference to Nagoya & Tokyo First taking over from Kokura in 1940 vs 1944?

Interesting dialog, so this is an early NCO Gunto type 95 ?
First stamp is from Seki Tōken Co,Ltd.
Second is Army Arsenal Nagoya Factory , this is also on the blade??
Third is Army Arsenal Kokura Factory

Yes. It is believed that maybe Nagoya "cold-stamped" their inspectors marks by the serial number, causing them to come out lighter and harder to read than the Tokyo First inspector mark.

Rene, Out of curiosity, have you every disassembled your type 95s? The reason I ask is I'm collecting data on gunto with the "W" stamp on the nakago. I've got 3, with the stamp, and 2 of the 3 (the 3rd has a steel fuchi) and both are made by the Ijima factory. I'm wondering if any from Nagoya have the stamp. If you havent and don't want to, no worries!
