No idea. All numbers match, barrels bored full and cyl. Absolutely no mfg name, import marks, country of origin etc. I was hoping maybe someone might recognize the proof marks.

Thanks. I read your referenced thread and this one,does appear very similar. I would suspect other than European origin due to the relative lack of proof marks. This one also has the offset front tang screw.

Not sure @ all on the export number of 40127440062. Others I see are:
4410838002 49107380073
I'm curious if yours was manufactured by Kasuga?
Cheers,

I sense a Japanese copy here- just a "SWAG" of course.

Are the exaggerated control numbers a post WWll American occupation addition? The stamps in the various pictures are uncannily similar.
Might be a record somewhere if they are.
Out there doing it best I can.
