      It's a shame that no one on the site can help me with this sword...I thought there were more people to confirm...

      It seems my post caused some misunderstanding. The early model of the Type 95 is called the Type 32 bis. Perhaps it was a term unique to JP collectors.     ohmura-study.net/957.html   https://search.yahoo.co.jp/image/search?p=32式改軍刀&ei=UTF-8&fr=applep1&x=nl#be895d8b5b0da7bf4b88c33a67fe1466

      I thought it was a 95 type? Is it a pre-war model or very early? THANKS

      This type of sword used by the lJA was called "Model 1898 military sword / Type 32 bis".   As it is also called "Sergeant Major sword", it was issued to senior NCOs.

      I've never seen a Mod 30 canteen with a issued leather shoulder strap, so I would think this is possibly a wartime repair.

      I found this 9 x 7 inch, desk flag yesterday.  Appears to be silk or nylon construction with printed stripes.  It came as a surprise as I had found one like it on a pole a couple of decades ago that I have on a shelf with other items from the period.

      A Soldier of the 3rd Telegraph Battalion (Telegraphen-Bataillon 3), a great find for these obscure units to see their Markings on the Shoulder Strap first hand being worn on a uniform.

      I picked this up today.  The leather strap with iron buckles is sewn to the webbing harness.  It's in rough shape, but all there and the stopper strap is leather as well.  The research I did said the leather straps are early production.  Would they still be using them with a Showa 17 canteen?

      Thank you, I was looking at the M35, didn't look like it, in example the M35 has slots rather then holes on barrel jacket.   On this MP28 seems the bayonet lug has to re placed on it and it can be fixed either on the side or under muzzle correct?
