gathering information

Ed, Thanks for your quick response. Here are the markings on the gun as I understand them. I don't have any pictures yet but will work on getting some soon. Serial Number is 3120. The last two digits (20) are found on 6 seperate parts of the gun. My unfamiliarity with gun parts prevents me from properly naming these parts although the disected picture of the parts will enable me to do that soon. The proof markings are items #14 located both on the barrel and again as shown on item #16 although the three symbols prior to the #14 symbol are not exactly as shown. There is also the #19 repair, refurbish or modification markings as indicated by the RC with that symbol over them. The serial number located under the barrel on the front part of the trigger frame has a cursive "n" which I understand has to do with the production run. There is also the letter "B" on the front of the breechblock just behind the date stamp of 1918. That same symbol appears again at the back of the breechblock with another symbol that I don't recognize. There are a couple of other markings that are difficult to describe but hopefully the pictures will help clear those up. I should have pictures by the end of the week. I look forward to furhter conversations with you and your members. Thanks, John
