About enlightened serial numbers...

(1/1)

Fausto:
Hello to you all...
Just a silly question... Did any WWII Mauser HSc leave the factory with white painted serial numbers? I noticed many HSc with yellowish, very old and scratched paint inside serial number, but this could be just an old embellishment made by a collector...
As far as I have observed, just Nagant revolvers refurbished after WWII and some Czech flare pistols have original white paint inside serial numbers...
Thank you so much !

Hi Fausto,

I am no expert, but my guess is "no".  The factory did not spend the time to embellish the serial numbers to my knowledge. Or proof stamps. Collectors in the years have done that.  I have a nice Navy that I want to clean out the yellow goo and see what is under it.  I am thinking a toothpick will do the trick.  Enjoy your example and we will see what others say about your question.

Thank you so much Jim...
