This is the pic of my stamp and the screenshot with my same stamp referencing it to Ren - Nanman Arsenal Dalian Factory stamp from George Trotter quoting Ohmura, found this on a google search with info from many books and websites. I looked up seki stamp and it doesn't look like this. How can we verify this further? How can we verify if this was or wasn't made in the Nanman Arsenal Dalian Factory that was in Manchuria?

Thank you Ray and Kiipu. The January has a an extra mark to it, maybe a error when etched? The seki stamp I'm leaning to Ren - Nanman Arsenal Delian Factory. From what I read, it was made if Manchuria, if a sword has that stamp. If so, does this make it rare? Is it rare for a tang to have these 3 stamps?

Hey Steve and thank you. I definitely know that one of the stamps is a Ren- Nanman Arsenal Delian Factory stamp, the one that you might say is a seki, but I think it needs further research and I have been all over the internet and did find the stamp saying it was a Ren. My question is what does it really mean for the sword. From what I read, if i am correct, which I am a novice, is that a sword to have these 3 stamps are rare. The other stamp was a a gifu from a different angle and shade of light, but I'm not 100% positive. The Hiro throws me off, I have yet to find it, well again, I just may not be trained to see what you see. The Ren stamp or seki has me bugging out, from what I read was made in Manchuria, but it was, why the gifu stamps? I am restless with this puzzle.

Is this a hiromitsu August 1945 gifu stamp, Ren Nanman Arsenal Dalian Factory stamp and maybe a 2nd gifu or cherrybloosm stamp? Thank you in advance.

Hello every1. I'm new here, I've had 2 ww2 vintage swords that I have been trying to decifer. I have had some help but not a 100% assured hit. I have 1 that is unsigned and was told that it might be a koto or shinshinto. The 2nd sword is why I'm here. I have, from what I was told and doing my own research on the mitsu and stamps, a August 1945 hiromitsu, but I dont find the signature anywhere to match, the mitsu is a definite. The Hiro is the problem. It also has 3 stamps. One is definitely a gifu (gi) stamp the other 2 are what I think, and correct me if I'm wrong... one stamp is a Ren- Nanman Arsenal Dalion Factory, and 3red I think is another gift stamp or cherryblossom tree... I'm leaning more to figure. I would really appreciate if anyone's expertise, considering that I am only a novice. I will place pics on the next posting
