missing numbers

Hi Jack, The 1906 1st Issues went from 1 no suffix to about 8000a, in other words, 18,000 guns. Based on the appearance of the C/M marks, which underwent several subtle changes during the course of this production run, I would guess that this gun was in the latter half of the no suffix block.
As Ed has said, this is otherwise a beautiful gun, and it's a great shame that it was disfigured in this way.
Regards, Norm
