Close-up picture of "Made in Japan"

Since no one has anything to say, here is my summery on "Made in Spain" specifics,

(1) The rust blue finish is satin finish. Very close to the finish of postwar rust blued bolo -- not reflective, not high gloss. The color tone is close to postwar Bolo Mauser as well.

(2) The "stain" around that fix round pin (on the right side, under the rail) is NOT optional. Its role is not unlike what halo plays on stamping. Not sure where it came from, but it's a must.

(3) The edge of square pin is crisp. The head of round pin has circular tool marks.

There are other things, but those are general.
