Hello....

I have a mini tanto (not sure what they are called) that seems to have "HON" Stamp.

According to Swords of Imperial Japan / Cyclopedia Edition by Jim Dawson (pgs. 25,26 and 29)

they were used during Meiji Period on swords imported from Germany.

Does the stamp on my tanto look like a "HON" stamp? or do you guys know of any other stamp that might resemble this?

The last pic is from the book showing the "HON" stamp.

Thank You... Joe

P.S..... it's a great reference book, a must have if you are collecting Japanese Military Swords.
