I think what Tom is talking about is the STYLE of the lettering? If so, they can be different depending on the size of the stamp die used...In most cases the frame number is slightly different in style to the others...at least on Mausers.


I'm am very confused on the Black Widow post above. I understand about the British Proofs, but the contention of a re-worked Erfurt marked as a factory new byf-41 totally loses me. Does this pistol have shadows of Erfurt proofs on the right receiver under and around the E655's and firing proof? I personally find it very hard to accept that Mauser would be allowed to re-work an old weapon and re-mark it as a NEW contract gun...someone please help me understand this. Thanks BCC
