Wow! That's neat and new to me. But, it's on a 1950's Japanese picklock for sure.

I know that you could get any Stamp you wanted on the tang, but is it unusual to find a stamp that literally no one in the Auto community has never seen?

Such a cool looking tang stamp Kris.
It is one I have never seen before either .
Great looking knife aswell ,love the japanese old picklocks .

[KrisNZ]

It is a mystery that's for sure,
As a disclosure this isn't my knife, I'm just doing my best to find info for my friend whom owns it,

Cheers

Thanks for posting, KrisNZ! Does the "NZ" stand for New Zealand, by chance?

Nice international community on here. French, British, American, Czech, to name the countries I'm aware of represented here. I don't know which others might be members. Pretty sure there are some Italians here as well.

[KrisNZ]

Very much a global community
Our Italian friends are everywhere,

I once had a Japanese picklock with that stamp and I have seen it a few other times. I think it's on Japanese knives only.
