Bruce Pennington Posted Tuesday at 13:03 Share Posted Tuesday at 13:03 Thanks to the help of many, I have a few articles on various sword topics that are free for download. Stamps of the Japanese Sword - A brief history of civil and military sword stamps with a collection of examples of each. South Manchurian Railway - The Mantetsu Sword - An extensive history of the SMR Mantetsu sword production, translated by J.P. Cesco from Ohmura's site, followed by a full run-down of the sword markings and recent discoveries we've made about them. The Mysterious NLF Gunto - A Souvenir - Lays out the discovery process we went through in finding out that 8 000 + souvenir swords were produced by the Tenshozan factory after the war. It appears to be a Navy kiagunto, but uses Army metal fittings. Enjoy! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
