Unusual addition to date inscription

The lower two kanji in this photo immediately follow the date of Meiji Ni nen Ka (summer) Roku Gatsu on a tanto I have seen recently.
The first of the two is easily identifiable as Shimo/Shita/Moto/KA/GE, but the second seems not to exist under all the normal groupings associated with radical number 85. I believe it is a combination that refers to the day of the month in which it was made but have never encountered it.
Grateful for any suggestions, thanks
Steve
