Chris_PerthWA Posted June 9 Author Report Posted June 9 Thanks Grey and Uwe. Do the other markings tell you anything or reveal names? Quote
Bugyotsuji Posted June 9 Report Posted June 9 Which other markings? Grey and Uwe covered everything we see above. The date and the name are chiseled into either side of the tang. Seki no Ju Kanenori Saku means: “Kanenori who lives in Seki made this”… Now you can start the track and chase! 1 1 Quote
Bruce Pennington Posted June 9 Report Posted June 9 The paint are numbers - 326?, and were put there during the production process to keep all the fitted parts together. 1 1 Quote
Kiipu Posted June 24 Report Posted June 24 In regards to the date, not sure what is going on with what I would guess is a ten 十. The four 二二 that follows is a variant rarely encountered. Oddities/rarities in datings Arsenal Stamps. Would appreciate your expertise please 2 Quote
