Is there any way to "back door" the number? How about searching the lists of Navy numbers accounted for and relating to the last two digits and figuring out what number it could be. I thought about using that angle after trying to see if the 2nd number is in the rearranged number on the side plate..... I'll see what I can come up with.

Ed when you say looked at; was that in personal inspection or on the web?
thanks
Jack

Hi Jack, Unfortunately there is no way to retrieve the first two digits of this gun's serial number. If it was a 1908 they would be on the bottom of the receiver, just ahead of the lug, where the last two digits are stamped. I've seen photos of this gun, and based on the appearance of the C/M stamps, I would guess that the original number was between 5000 and 9999 no suffix. Since we know the last two digits, that just leaves 50 possibilities. And, by the way, none of these numbers are currently on the Navy List.
Regards, Norm
