Post by: nieuport on April 22, 2015, 06:54:59 PM

Anyone ever seen a proof mark like this or know what it is?


Here is a small and a large picture



Thanks in advance for any wisdom you are able to share

Is it on the hammer? I have seen markings like this before. I think it is most likely a production mark, made during manufacture by an inspector or machinist showing it met or failed tolerances.

Regards,

Thanks 1914Mauser

Yes, the mark is on the hammer (inside, toward front of gun)
