Stamped into the metal, under the symbol denoting it is a type 38, is a 16 petal chrysanthemum, the seal of the Japanese Empire. When Japan surrendered after World War II in 1945, many Japanese soldiers scratched off the Imperial seal in an effort to save face. Emperor Hirohito was the last Emperor of Japan after the Potsdam Declaration and occupation of Japan by the Allied Powers. Due to many surrendered guns having the seal scratched off, it is relatively rare to see one still intact. |
