Good evening all,
Can anyone assist with the identification of the perfin on the Japanese stamp shown below? It is the 50 sen value from the 1937/8 definitive set. I have looked on the net but cannot find any match. Any help will be much appreciated.
Regards
David

It's an anchor. Might be Japanese Navy.

Japanese Navy is correct.

ETA: Here is a snip in case the link goes away (or someone is shy about links):
