taquito22 Posted March 26, 2011 Posted March 26, 2011 Hello All, Can anyone translate this? I believe it should be either someones name or possibly the name of a school. It is stamped into the stock of a WW2 Japanese rifle. Thanks alot!
Dieter3 Posted March 26, 2011 Posted March 26, 2011 Would be a school stamp. Looks like Kita-Ao-Ko - North Blue School, kinda strange configuration to me. These are very cool finds. Is this a Type 30 by chance? Here's one I have from a Type 30 Carbine:

Dieter3 Posted March 31, 2011 Posted March 31, 2011 (edited) Gotcha! A lot of these service rifles were relegated to school use for training at some point. I'm curious, what kind of stamp was placed over the top of the chrysanthemum, or is mum scrubbed? Edited March 31, 2011 by Dieter3
