I really think the numbering of small parts on manufactured items goes back at least to the late 1800's. In that period in the european countries things were essentially hand made and thus the parts were numbered to the item. Not all countries followed this procedure but some of the crap other countires put out wasn't worth numbering anyway. To have a Model 1879 Reich revolver with all parts matching is quite a blessing and especially if it has not been messed with by an Alabama plow boy. <img src="graemlins/a_smil17.gif" border="0" alt="[blabla]" />
