NCO Sword Markings

[PAB_Collector]

Can anyone tell me what arsenal this sword comes from, and what all the stampings mean? (sorry for the small pics)

Is there a resource for these markings?

Many thanks.

Sword markings

The marking with the X in the middle is for the Iijima Sword Factory,,the stacked cannon balls is for Kokura Arsenal. The smaller stamp in between is the " Tokyo First Arsenals To Inspection mark".

That's a nice NCO sword, can you post more pictures?
Here's a website that might help you. Go to "Army NCO's Type 95" and on the bottom of the page go to Arsenal Stamp.
