I got this from Germany but I understand that it was originally sourced from a US collector.
I have translated the top two characters as Kinsei - then 50 model.
Underneath I can see Mark 34 , Navy anchor and the date of Showa 17 8 - which is Aug 42.
I cannot see any mention in textbooks of a Kinsei 50 34.
Can anyone help with confirmation of any of the Kanji or its history ?
