Leave it to me to find an odd one. The O. is very clear and follows the S. and B. The pistol appears to be a rework based on the markings. It has 2 of the #31 markings shown in the technical page of this site and a third eagle in a circle that doesn't seem to appear in any of that pages markings. In fact under a magnifying glass it appears someone tried to scratch a connecting line between the lower feet of the II and lateraly through the B.There also appears to have been another number in the lower portion of the the front strap that is almost completly worn or mechanically removed. The .(dots) are clear and there is a very faint 2 but that's all that can be made out. My digital camera is broken, but I'll borrow one from work after the holidays and send some pictures. Hopefully they will help solve the mystery.
