Norme,
I respectfully, and strenuously, disagree about the "1921 property mark." The recognized 1920 property mark is an officially pronounced artifact from a specific time and for specific circumstance. I am aware of the occasional 1921 mis-application. The error of their presence in no way legitimizes the concept of a "1921 property marking", and describing them in any way other than an anomaly serves only to confuse the topic's history, a fact which RIA is attempting to take advantage of here.
I will go so far as to opine that the pistol which Don has presented has in fact been boosted by the addition of a fantasy 1921 chamber mark and its attendant "explanation", with the intent of increasing its value.
