I did in an earlier post Bruce, and you ended up answering that one for me. It was this pic, also have you ever seen markings like the ones above the habaki before? It’s been driving me crazy trying to figure out what they are. Quote
Bruce Pennington Posted April 28 Report Posted April 28 Ah, yes! Marking above habaki? Do you mean this: With all the pitting, I think it's just more corrosion/pitting. If it was a horimono, the corrosion has destroyed it. But Horimono is usually quite deep, and I think plenty would survive enough to be visible. 1 1 Quote
