<p>[QUOTE="Ce BCA, post: 3693867, member: 18716"]旧 萬里 - Looks like it's trying to say something like 'Old Made', second word could also be a surname, there are numerous translations, either way if it's trying to say 'Old' it probably isn't!</p><p><br /></p><p>Edit - Doh! I was thinking it was Japanese, but it's not, it's Chinese and it reads 'Old Wanli' - so it definitely isn't old, almost certainly post war.
