SOLD
Type 95 NCO sword in good condition, complete with its original sword knot — the standard-issue sidearm for Imperial Japanese Army NCOs, 1935–1945.
A second clean Type 95 example to pass through the archive — the Imperial Japanese Army’s standard NCO sidearm, mass-produced with a cast zinc-alloy handle. This piece kept its original brown leather sword knot (the first fitting to disappear in postwar handling) alongside the blade in good condition. Star and arsenal stamps on the nakago locate it within the documented Toyokawa Arsenal production sequence.
