[Strider]

Thanks for the reply Ed. The few examples that I have seen usually had this on top near the chamber date. This one struck me as strange since it was covered by the side plate. Which to me is preferable since you can not see it until you take it apart. What got me to thinking it was crossed rifles is that the legs are a bit thicker than the arms. I will see if the folks here at work will lend me one of their digital cameras and get some pictures of the X and the suffix letter. Thanks again.
Sid.
