iv) How does [the] marking otherwise allow concerned authorities to identify
and trace the relevant weapon?

State?

All weapons records are kept in a central register by the military and police and are reconciled periodically.

vii) Please give details of any steps taken by your country to cooperate in tracing illicit SALW, including the strengthening of mechanisms based on the exchange of relevant information.
