Can someone help me identify this Japanese sword? w/ 'Number' and 'Characters' on blade.
Jul 16, 2012 1. Arsenal mark is Kokura (albeit a good one), but scabbard and serial number stamping are carried out in Nagoya Arsenal style (hence the upside down serial numbers). Numbering NEVER commences with a leading '0' 3. The arsenal inspection stamp (centre one on the fuchi and before the blade number) doesn't exist. This is a video of an original 1899 Japanese Cavalry Sword, type 32, that was commonly used by officers in WWII. It is not the Samurai sword. This particular sword has the matching serial number. These swords feature a prominent serial number stamped on its blade, scabbard, saya and tsuba. A shin-gunto with matching serial numbers on its blade, tsuba, saya and all other Japanese sword parts ( Samurai sword parts ) is usually priced no less than USD 750.
Axis History Forum. Anyway here is a link to a very good Japanese sword forum they have helped me a lot. The serial number on the blade is upside down.
Japanese Officer Sword Ww2 Value
I am moving this coming week and came across these stuffed in a gun bag. They are in pretty rough shape, but i can still make out some Japanese characters ( i think they are Japanese characters) and numbers on the blade. I am just trying to find out a little more info on them and maybe what the writing on them says. I did a little research on my own and think they are some sort of Japanese WW2 infantry swords. I could not find any with numbers or characters on the blade though.
Any suggestions on how to clean the blade or if i even should? I know cleaning is very important and must be done the right way so the blade is not damaged.

EDIT Here are some better pictures of the flag and characters on the blade:
Thanks everyone
