I had one of these barongs years ago and had a friend translate the characters it basically refered to a store or shop but it really made little sense to my friend. So basically they are trade marks from the maker or supplier.

Thanks Lew,

I heard it several times allready from other collectors who tried, that those characters made little to no sense when translated..

Typically the Chinese made blades are of very good quality...at least the 5 or 6 I have seen.
