The conversation has strayed a bit far from my original question. Let me narrow things down here some. The original questions main intent had to do with the "Broad Arrow" stamping on New ZealandWW2 Stocks and..repeat and?? was the "broad Arrow" stamping soley used in NZ or was it a universal Commonwealth stamp. I now suspect it was solely a NZ mark but I don't want the question to get "lost in the weeds". I fail to see how the Chinese Army and "War Lords" are relevant to my original question.
I'll atach a link that has several excellant photos of the "Broad Arrow" stamping I'm inquiring about. Due credit given to the original posters as ID'ed in the link!!
I was toying with $1,000.00..
