Rafal, thanks a lot!

Any thoughts on that “Mitsubishi” logo on the hs (at 10.30h pos)? Or is that a factory mark?
Some people say it could be only corrosion.

Does anybody have better (clearer) images of this headstamp maybe?

EOD
That’s not Hunan.That’s Chinese“Dezhou（德州）”written with in cursive script.Manufactured by Dezhou Arsenal（1904-1926）

I remember having seen the “7 dots” in Elks’ book.
The one with the two “o” is also new to me (not that this has any significance).
