thank you sir. that seppa has number 17 and the tsuba also has same stroke star stamp and number 17 and katakana マ and ホ. i think katakana can be inspection stamps. i really excited to your picture whick has numbering 18. thank you for sharing your knowledge.

hello sir! thank you for answering! i saw this gunto seppa and this one has star stamp on it. i look around stamp dicuss forum but i still can't find any information but this writing may be the answer. so this can be made by heijo arsenal? i really appreciate your answer.

is there any possibility that these stamps can marked on type 98 gunto's tsuba and seppa?

i found that my gunto's all seppa and tsuba engraved 'オセ'. i hope to find information about this and it can help to make archive. thank you and have a nice day.
