Bruce Pennington Posted January 17, 2019 Report Posted January 17, 2019 I just remembered my star-stamped Kunitoshi. It has a single stamp, Seki, on the nakago mune. Is it possible that it was made in the Seki province, and inspected by the Seki guild (or a Nagoya inspector using the Seki stamp) and the 2 stamp system would be redundant, therefor a single stamp?

Bruce Pennington Posted January 17, 2019 Report Posted January 17, 2019 Just as a reminder to self - (dang, I can't copy and paste!) there is a discussion on the Translation Assistance, titled "Name on Nakago Mune", with several actual names and dates on mune. There are also examples of double arsenal stamps (like a "Na" and "Ko"). So, Names CAN appear on mune. The examples on that thread are what I would call "written" as opposed to a stamp, though. So for the one's discussed on this thread, I'm still leaning toward the "city" "arsenal" line of thought. Quote
Bruce Pennington Posted January 3, 2021 Report Posted January 3, 2021 Came across this looking for something else. Update: 山 Yama Matsuyama Branch Officer of Kokura Army Arsenal 小 Ko Kokura Army Arsenal Supervisory Section Don't know what the "1" is for. Quote
