Title: Unit mark legit?
Post by: pardt 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?(http://)

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.
