Nambu Type 14 Pistol

The really late pistols have flat slab grips with no grooves. Just a cost or time measure, I would guess. Late rifle stocks got pretty crude as well.

The pistol and sword I mentioned came from "Salvage" at Nagasaki.
The sword is a really late machine made example.
While the scabbard has a typical throat, hanger loop, and the little band in the middle, it has just a sheet of copper wrapped around the tip-looks like they ran out of the standard bits.
