I have an arisaka 99 and bayonet. I find the oriental writing very unique and almost an artwork in itself. I had to look at my series inscription over and over before it finally made since and looked like one I saw on the internet. Mine also has a single stamp on the bottom of the stock I have yet to figure out.

You definitly have a sword I would hate to ever leave my hands if I ever did get one. Thanks for for showing your sword on this site.

This makes me think of posting some pictures of an old civil war sword thats been in my family as long as I've known. It aint a special one with any markings and the blade is pitted up on one end. Its an old wristbreaker 1870 something I think. But its a good mantle piece though.
