Military war era swords sometimes had fuchi, tsuba and even spacers/seppa stamped with production numbers or arsenal markings, not all pieces were marked. Different marks were used in different factories - some pieces were matched so the sword, tsuba and fittings all had matching numbers. With others it could mean a production type, as styles varied over time as well as by the branch of the military.
