Hi Eymen, No, it's not normal. The Navy crown firing proof was stamped at three locations, the left sides of the barrel, receiver and breechblock, when the gun passed proof testing. If it's not on the breech block then it was either removed or the breech block is not original to the gun.
Regards, Norm
