Bruce Pennington Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 (edited) OLD THREAD UPDATE This is at Type 95 Japanese NCO gunto. Made for the Nagoya Army Arsenal (center stamp), with final inspection by the Kokura Army Arsenal (right stamp). The left stamp, Gifu, is an unknown forge, but we think it was the later stamp of the Seki Token Co., Ltd. You can read more about them on Ohmura's excellent site: Non-commissioned officers Gunto 1935 (Type 95 Guntō)/title> (ohmura-study.net) Edited July 22 by Bruce Pennington 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
