    Default Type 95 NCO sword

    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.

    Very nice. Congrats. Blade looks really nice!


    P.S. did you mean nothing allowed "post" 1945?
    "Please", Thank You" and proper manners appreciated

    Nice piece. One slight correction. That's made at the Tokyo First Arsenal at a time when Kokura was administering the Type 95 manufacturing program.

    To clarify ...

    Of the eight army arsenals active in the war only Kokura, Tokyo First and Nagoya were involved in the Type 95 program. Kokura Arsenal administered the program although they did not directly supervise nor produce any of the Type 95 swords. It is believed that about 1944 Kokura relinquished control of the program to the other two mentioned arsenals.
