    Found this stamp on some metal trying to figure out what the markings mean? If the time period can be determined and the alloys are real or not?
    Thank you

    Due to some awesome info , I have learned that it's a Japanese item maybe from around 1896 as far as my new path of research has taken me. I am still not 100% sure of its story yet and am most looking forward to one day maybe having a final chapter..

    Thank you to those who have taken their time to share thier wealth of knowledge with me.

      Looks like the diamond-shaped English registry mark

      Thanks. You don't happen to know what the Asian lettering may mean? It's sideways : sorry. 1453 is the bottom.
      Again thank you

      Hello again,
      Sorry, no idea. What`s the item ? Numbers have no relevance, manufacturers identification or serial numbers, pattern numbers etc.
