carlgustav Posted December 24, 2023 Report Posted December 24, 2023 Good Evening, I have acquired this blade below, it has a signature etched into the tang, but also what appears to be some characters written on in paint at a later date? Thank you in advance for any assistance, Merry Christmas and a happy New Year. 1 1 Quote

Brian Posted December 24, 2023 Report Posted December 24, 2023 It's a wartime made arsenal blade, the paint is rack/assembly markings, just for admin purposes. Piers has given you the maker info. Quote
Kiipu Posted December 24, 2023 Report Posted December 24, 2023 The yellow paint on the obverse is the number 536. 五三六 = 536. Quote
