Thanks Marc....this is great discovering all this info after being in the family for so long.
There are actually a couple M's that are stamped just under the 4143 in the first image. One is just to the left and below the first M and the other is between and below the first 4 and 1. Is that what you are looking at?
On the magazine base the number is 4933.
I have heard from some friends that the refinishing may hurt the value. That is unfortunate.
