Herb & Pete, I too have to conclude that Costanzo's description is in error. I've never seen the "flame top" inspector's marking on any of the parts that he mentions. At least he does show the US Ord marking in his book and not the German DWM inspector's mark, that most are calling a flaming bomb. I suppose that Springfield Armory may have marked some of the spare parts, as I have had a both the flame proofed and inspector's initials marked wood bottom mags from them. Tom H.
