I previously posted about this said rifle but wasn't able to obtain pictures at that time and I still have the opportunity to buy it. I've taken pictures this time around. I'm looking for more information and details about it's origin, authenticity, etc.

I'm fairly confident it was manufactured at the Tokyo Arsenal but I do not know what Series it is or the year it was made. I'm also curious what the big "17" is for on the right side of the butt stock and why there is what looks like an arsenal marking on the Mum.

Help and answers would be greatly appreciated.
