Found this at a local heritage arms gun show. Nothing allowed pre-1945, it was a history overload. It's in pretty decent shape, most of the paint is still there and the numbers match. There's one ding on the blade edge, but that's the only flaw I've found. Pardon the yard, the snow had melted for now, but it's snowing again and almost April.
Made at the Kokura arsenal, and according to Stu's sticky, the sword maker is unknown or unconfirmed.
Not a large ding
serial number
