Ed, thanks for your posting.

Do you think it more likely that the pins were replaced, or re-worked and returned to their original firearm? I know that this would be hard to estimate without documentation of a rework program, or a set of instructions for standard actions during rework.

Since these fluted pins have E/6 markings, and they were likely done at some point after manufacture, is there a way for replacement pins to get the E/6 marking outside of the Simson factory inspections?

I'm off to re-read my reference books to see if research has already discussed this.

Stevie, that would be consistent with a rebuild program as well...

Marc
