If you will observe the photo of this outstanding firearm showing the takedown lever, frame, and sideplate it is very clear that the parts were numbered using different stamps. This has to mean the parts were prenumbered prior to assembly. Why would the assembler use three different stamps at the same time for the same gun for different parts? Excellent example of the halo also.
