Reported guns from 7108 on have he takedown numbered on the LEFT flat (with two outliers that are numbered on the left bottom - probably forcematched replacements). I would be surprised if this one is marked on the right. To date, there are 11 guns (including this one) reported from 7108 to 7147 of the Bannerman purchase. Chances of this one being an actual test piece is pretty high, but as always, if it is not on the Bannerman purchase list there is no way to know for sure.
