Sorry, I assumed a suffix would immediately follow the digits and be in the same font. That’s what I get for assuming. I’m not sure what that wart is. There is no roughness to it. By that I’m mean you can run your finger over it and it’s a smooth transition from the bluing.

Andy,

You've got a really nice 1940 Banner Commercial. And yes, in this SN range, they were 7.65 mm.

In 1940 there was a transition in proof stamps from Crown over U to Eagle over N, so you see these poofs interspersed.

Also interspersed in this SN range were the Swedish contract guns. and a few Police which are identified by the presence of a sear safety and their caliber being 9mm.

Hope this helps.

John

Beautiful gun. I'd be proud to own that.
