My latest purchase, A type 98 IJA officers shin gunto with company grade officers tassel. I had to sell both my type 95 NCO guntos but it was definitely worth it.
Blade specifications,
Shinogi-zukuri, ioiri-mune, tori-zori, chu-kissaki
Nagasa: 63.3cm
Motohaba: 2.9cm
Sakihaba: 2.0cm
Sori: 1.9cm
Kasane: 0.65cm
Nakago: O-Suriage Mumei 17.8cm
Though the Nakago is mumei (unsigned) the blade has a possible attribution to Edo ishido school (300 years old) due to the shape and choji style hamon.
