I've been pooring over my other Yoshiharu to figure it out.  With the date of Spring 1944, it lines up perfectly with the 1944 "103 W" I have on file.  I feel like it's a "1" struck at an angle, missing the barb at the top and the left side of the horizontal base line.

 

@sabre - Mike, I don't see the "W", could you give us a shot of it?

 

Yoshiharu, so far

Thanks everyone for the information starting to get a little, overwhelmed the more a dig and dig into what everyone saying. Just going to repost some photos to see if someone can give me clarity on what the individual markings mean. Love the enthusiasm of this group, and find myself digging deeper and deeper on the net to find information could become a little obsessive.

there are no other markings on the other side of the nakago, or in the blade itself

 

But I am, Shore and number of you would understand.
