Hi folks

question for the real artillery experts Wink

at the For Freedom Museum at Knokke-Heist, Belgium is an 6pdr AT gun



The question is, what is the meaning of the markings at the muzzle break Confused
It looks like some Chinese writing



Here is an direct link to the picture without the watermark

It is the same picture as above, however for some strange reason it doen't show the mark

The middle symbol looks very similar to some kanji, but the ones to either side are like nothing I've seen in my travels in Asia. Also it doesn't figure that the alphanumeric stamping would be in western characters, unless it was done at a different time.
