Type 95 Shin-Gunto was not the actual Japanese class family Samurai sword that was hand built by craftsmen but a factory mass produced copy instead, and it was these that were issued to all Japanese NCOs in WWII.

Which book is the best?
Acquired one reference. All color pictures inside (except Japanese period photos). Wonderful reference.
