Take a look at the FAQ, won't help a lot, but some.

The marks are inspection markings, accepting it into military service, there are droop wing 63 and straight wing 63, as Norm said, a droop wing 63 would be most correct.

I always go by what is on the right of the gun, i.e. droop wing, straight wing, eagle 63, eagle 655, eagle 6, etc, although that is only a general guide.

A detailed guide on loading tools is in the works by a good friend or two and I need it, I have a heck of a time.

You see many standard, unmarked DWM's that have been stamped with fake markings.
