I found this proof on several parts of my late 9th series 21358, one of the highest reported. The proof looks like or is a "Z" and I have found it on the small protrusion on the head of the safety knob, the side of the protrusion of the firing pin, the back of the front sight base and the back of the bayonet lug. I disremember if I had taken this rifle fully apart yet, so I will get around to it sometime to check the triggerguard assembly and bottom of receiver. I wonder if it is an Izawa specific proof, possibly found on later rifles, I haven't seen as many 9ths as i'd like but I have seen a few and I haven't seen this before and it isn't on the data sheet.
Thoughts?

Mike, I haven't seen that one, but then I haven't been looking for it. I'll check when I head north east later this month. Its not found on 18500 as far as I can tell. Trey
