I am completely confused about the numbering.
Besides an 1900 commercial, this is my only "privat" gun, so i have less experience in commercials and their numbering.
Keeping in mind, that, according to kenyon, an commercial receiver should have serialnumber stamped on the stop lug, i can't understand the time flow of events.
Let's presume, the gun is an alphabet commercial, then i should have "crown over n" proof left on receiver and "serialnumber on stop lug".
When undergoing an rework for military use, it should have now, "serialnumbers lefthand on receiver", but the serial on stoplug has to be also present.
But, there is no sign of an serialnumber at the stop lug...
Ok, ok, could be removed from the stop lug, but why should they do this, makes no sense, work for nothing.....
Ok,ok, while writing and thinking some things getting in my mind that would asset the missing number. The receiver could come from an other gun, with an other number, so i makes sense to rework the stoplug area to delete the old serial.
At this specific field i have to learn .......
