Hello all - I recently bought what I think is a gunto blade in type 94 military fittings and leather covered (metal?) scabbard. The blade has a very pronounced damascus steel pattern so I was/am? concerned that this might be a chinese fake. However, the quality of the blade and fittings leads me to think that it is genuine. Interestingly, the blade exhibits a hot stamp (see photo) that I have been unable to identify in any of my books or internet. Can anybody help with identifying/translating this?
thanks - Richard.
