I'm looking for pictures of the tang of a 1945 pattern Japanese NCO sword. The one with the checkered wood grip. A quick Bing search didn't turn anything up. There are some pics of officer's guntos and the metal handled NCO swords taken apart, but I haven't found a picture of the wood gripped version in pieces.

Any leads?

In 1945, the NCO sword was changed to a simple wooden hilt with incised cross-hatching (no same' or ito) and plain, black painted iron mounts and a light brown to tan metal scabbard. Blades in these mounts are ALL machine made.

I think it would pretty much look the same as other NCO swords. I don't have much intrest in these swords but look here:

I'd think it would have 2 holes like the mid types do. One for the screw and other at the tip. Of course I might be completely wrong.

mrstabby: Been thinking the same - but the person that set up the page might not be there anymore and old code gets messy when not maintained. Might be a "repair subscriptions, destroy function X, repair X, destroy Y" situation by now - would mean a total overhaul. Nov 18, 2024 7:29:27 GMT
