The barrel has the serial #5687 witha cursive "a 82" between it and the reciever. the top of the barrel at about the 2 o'clock from behind, has an extremly small eagle. If you look at the proof marks on page 3, #33 second from the right. That is the closest picture I can tell but I don't think it is exactly the same. I took the strongest light and magnifier to the markings on the right side. If it should have the extra numbers, they are gone at this point. There is an ever so faint trace of something under the far right figure but even knowing what it should be you couldn't make it out. Your gonna yell at me for the what I did with the original magazine. If I remember correctly it was an aluminum base with the serial stamped into it. I don't remember if it had any other marking and it is long gone. I have had the gun for close to 5 years now and my curiosity about it's history has gotten the better of me. Thanks for all the great help so far.
