It just didn`t get a good stamping for the impressed mark but It says Made in Japan !! Reading it on the pic is easier than you trying to read it !! Not unusual to have both marks on import items !! If the impression is not clear it has to be stamped with the black before it can be sold in the USA !! After 1891 the Mckinley tariff act required that all items imported into the USA must be marked with country of origin !!
