Jon vey nice group and informative thread. The type 3 certainly is tuff to find with crisp detail. I also love the later flared pommel (#4 & #5) quite unique. I think the type two is certainly one of the better looking guards - notice how close the bottom of the crossguard is relative to the upper scabbard band - very close - my type 2 example is the same way.
