Another question about picture #2.. beneath that s/n (1271) is another set of characters/numbers ... what is the purpose of those characters ? It also appears that again my pistol has the same characters on the barrel too ?

Hi Bruce, Those numbers (8.83) are the measured diameter of the barrel interior, land to land. Regards, Norm

Brushing mark is also important, but this one does not, or at least those pictures do not, perform well. Especially on the sear cover.

. . i had the same question. i believe its an "n", and is part of the serial number. i think they went to the next letter after 9999 were made.
