Habaki Markings

[Ooitame]

Not sure how I missed these, on a type3/rs. I remember sometime ago, atleast I think I do... that someone was able to crack the markings. If so any help on the number would be appreciated.

Are there similar markings on the Tsuba & Seppa?

Not that I have seen.

It’s a modified Roman numeral system using “/“ as “5”.

 

so you have 15  1  2

 

somtimes they match stamped numbers in other fittings or painted numbers on the nakago, but not always.
