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?post-3487-0-93980100-1547747421_thumb.jpg

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.
