Ron,
It has been re-numbered by someone. After looking at it very closely they just stamped the number in with a ink stamp or somthing. I took some penatrating oil and rub it right off. you can slightly see the original #'s embeded in the wood. My gramps did some strange things, but that is a classic. It look's like 4894 and the other side of the mag. bottom does have a crown with a letter M under it. Is a navy magazine more rare than normal??
I promise pics ASAP
Craig
