I don't own the microtome but might see it again next weekend, if so I'll
take a few more shots.

I'll get a better translation in a day from some multilingual friends,
but the best I can translate the chinese characters on the bottom of
938a tells me it says something like "wooden tool department". The
first character is a bit hard to tell, since the top of the character
is mugged up; without a radical on top, it actually means 'shell',
which doesn't make sense to me. The middle character is 'cai', which
means wood, and the bottom one is 'bu' which means department.

I don't know of many regions where they train elephants and use
Chinese characters, so the fish picaroon seems more likely to me.
