I have an aussie deactivated type 38 that has the same stamped out mum,on the lh side of the receiver I have the 5 digit serial no,nagoya arsenal mark plus one I cant ID and at the front of the serial no what I believe is a chinese communists 90th arsenal stamp

Thanks for all the comments. Phil, the mark you refer to is a British deactivation stamp. It has D and A for Deactivated and 89 at the bottom for the year of deactivation, 1989. Best wishes, Doug.

I agree. I have a M38, also Nagoya made, with the same "circles" around the mum; this is part of the Japanese aid to their Thais allied. I have to check the serie, but I bet it's the same.
