Most all PR have made in Japan on the right barrel in very small print barely visible where the forend runs along the barrel. If you look real close you will find it...its there on most repro's. I have been told that some did not get the stamping. In the future I suspect some barrels being refinished will have it removed. Personally it does not bother me, the Ohlin-Kodensha plant had very good craftsmen/gunsmiths. Fit and finish is top shelf at a very good price when they were made. I think Tom Skues insisted on perfection for these guns and the proof can be seen in the final product! SXS ohio....Still looking for my DT BHE repro....)-:
