Rig: Early HSc KM!

Asle,

I finally made it back to the forum after my last comment.  Even forgot my password.  Wish I could spend more time here but am thankful for the time I can spend.  Anyway......

I did dig out a KM and checked other references.  It appears that the earlier KMs were marked higher on the front grip strap than the later examples.  I have to admit that I have stared at these for years and never really made that distinction.  So a worthwhile investigation!  Thanks for prompting it!!

As for the holster I can only say I have never seen one marked like that in the States through the years nor any of the multiple references I have.  Perhaps they were marked as such in Norway for some reason.  Multiple examples would support that theory.  The E/M111 marking is meant for arms based on information out there.  Perhaps one will show up at some point in the US.

One of my favorite features of the HSc is the consistency in markings and proofs throughout the models and various service branches.  I do view "exceptions" with increased suspicion.  That approach has served me well in building my collection.

Enjoy.

You got my interest up when you said "consistency of marking".  I just happened to locate a Police "L", with no "L",  It shows a nice, crisp eagle but that is it.  I realize this is not the proper location to write about markings, but just wanted to reply to let you know there are some broken die stampings out there.

Jim
