My 2nd IJA Type 95 NCO sword

[Adam M]

Just added my second Type 95 NCO sword to the collection today, It is an earlier Tokyo arsenal sword (I think) with brass tsuba and matching numbers to the blade and saya No 124118. Quite a lot of original paint remains also the remains of some sort of rope or string attached to the sarute.

Everyone needs at least 1 NCO in their collection, I haven't seen your other one but this one looks really nice. great find!!!!! It's addictive Marty

Nice example.

Another good example for your collection made for the Tokyo Arsenal under Kokura Administration.

If you wish, measure the width of the rim of the tsuba and see if it's the earlier 11mm thick version or the slightly later 9mm thick type. Both are still considered early, just one earlier than the other.

Regards,
Stu
