Navy "Floating" Crowns...?

Pete Ebbink · 09-27-2003, 05:43 PM

I recall the discussion about legit Navy proof marks will not have the crowns "floating" above the M's...

But when I see the Navy proof marks presented on the Land Of Borchardt web site, I see both varieties...floating and non-floating, especially on serial # 79 (which I believe is a 1904 navy...)

Can anyone let me know what is what ??? Is # 79 a bogus gun ?

Regards,
