Unit mark legit?
« on: September 22, 2015, 08:46:21 PM »
This gun is on gunbroker and I freely admit I do not know much about unit marks. However with it being a poor photo doesn't help but it looks to fresh to me. Any other opinions out there?

Follow your instinct. The seller seems to think it is something it most likely is not and It is not a marking that is known in any reference I have. I do not have a reference for WWI regimental markings so that is possible but I think unlikely. I would need to see it in hand to evaluate if the marking is period or a recent addition. With the photos provided I would not add a premium to a valuation for the marks.
