If you rub a little corn starch in the stamps it would make them visible. __________________

Anyway we can get better pictures?
The back of the bolt looks like a Jap type 38 or type 99. But I have never seen a lefty of either one.
pachmaur gun works is the maker of the recoil pad or butt plate. | |

Are you taking the pics in a mirror? It does look to be a Jap action, but can't say 100% __________________

Depending on how a webcan is set up it will reverse pictures. It is a sporterized Japanese Arisaka. | |

The "knob" end of the bolt in the very fuzzy photo looks like an Arisaka Type 99, Japanese WW2 battle rifle. The "knob" is also the safety selector. __________________

Looks like one of the type 38 Jap rifles that a lot of folks were rechambering back in the day.. I agree with tango. Need better pictures to be certain. Intersting the bolt handle is a lefty.. __________________
