Hugh,

Just a wild guess on my part too, but since the original numbers have been buffed off, and the "M" or "W" has been added, I would speculate that it is definetly post war and may have been done here in this country. I have seen a number of magazines that came in recently (from the Eastern Block) that had the S/N and Waffenamts buffed off.

In addition, the letter appears to be more "modern" type style with no serefs. It just looks like a heavy duty type stamp from a modern US type stamp. I wonder if it may be a past owners initial? Just my opinion.
