That "charge" in the middle photo from Kenyon's 1997 article is a bit worrisome...as compared to the others...wonder why Kenyon decided to include that gun/photo in his 1997 article...?
Especially in light of this comment made about M1903 French-marked extractors made by a smart guy on the LF back in 2005...
" The letters in the CHARGĂ?? marking on the extractor appear to be of uniform height rather than tapering from large to small. On a genuine French extractor, the â??Ă??â? is approximately only two-thirds the height of the â??Câ?Â. "
