Default Re: Panagraphed serials

Johnny, when you say panagraphed, do you mean one set of numbers were used to copy to another gun? And do panagraphed letters have a wider letter and the surface and narrower at the bottom, kind of beveled? I assume a DIE would stamp the letters vertically into the metal. I have seen some serial Numbers in the frame that had this bevel look to them as a very Suspicious GESICHERT Marking that was WAY too deep on the same gun. This is really good information, can you elaborate on a strike versus panagraphed number? Thanks a bunch! Thor
