I de-stocked the rifle and am having a hard time finding any serial numbers or assembly numbers in the stock or handguard. The rifle is a "no series" rifle made in Tokyo. The serial range is 1,145,xxx which appears to be in the late teen's as far as production and what I can find.

I do see what looks like a "house" (square with a triangle on top) stamping in the stock channel near the action area. I don't see any other numbers or symbols in the stock or handguard though. There appears to be a square stamped in the handguard as well. The buttplate is cupped from looking at it (similar to a 98k cupped buttplate vs. a pre-1941 plate).

The stock appears to have orginial finish in the channel and is a deep reddish color with remmants of varinsh inside.

Where in the barrel channel will the assembly numbers typically be?

TIA
