%X In this note we give sufficient conditions to ensure that the weak Finsler structure of a complete C-k Finsler manifold M is determined by the normed algebra C-b(k)(M) of all real-valued, bounded and C-k smooth functions with bounded derivative defined on M. As a consequence, we obtain: (i) the Finsler structure of a finite-dimensional and complete C-k Finsler manifold M is determined by the algebra C-b(k)(M); (ii) the weak Finsler structure of a separable and complete C-k Finsler manifold M modeled on a Banach space with a Lipschitz and C-k smooth bump function is determined by the algebra C-b(k)(M); (iii) the weak Finsler structure of a C-1 uniformly bumpable and complete C-1 Finsler manifold M modeled on a Weakly Compactly Generated (WCG) Banach space is determined by the algebra C-b(1)(M); and (iv) the isometric structure of a WCG Banach space X with a C-1 smooth bump function is determined by the algebra C-b(1)(X).
