Boy, the gunsmith had a heavy hand with the stamps. All are very deep.
1. The Proofs look to be correct. 2. The mark between the barrel and receiver looks original. 3. The date looks to be missing from just above the take-down. Not good! 4. Blue has been added to the gun at some point in time. Not good! 5. The numbers on the take-down are located in an incorrect place as is the number on the side-plate. What were they thinking? A look under in and around the toggle would reveal even more. Based on what I see, this is not an authentic model 1914 Navy. Good call! Dan
