Hi Marvin,

I looked at a few of my Banners and I believe the "St" is just an inspectors mark or production mark of some kind, and has nothing to do with the police. I looked at a 1942 in the low 3000y and it did not have this mark and was blank, but everything above the 5000y had the "St" mark. I looked at one 42 two digit Banner also and it also had the "St" stamp. This was just a random sampling, but if anyone has a higher numbered 1942 or 42 without this mark, I will look at more of mine and report. My guess is that you are going to find the "St" on all of the higher numbered 1942 Banners. Also, from the picture it does not look like your barrel is witness marked to the receiver -- are my eyes playing tricks on me?
