missing numbers

Hi John, Here is the view you requested. I don't think that much metal has been removed, it looks worse than it really is. It's certainly nothing that a good restorer couldn't take care of. I've heard that there is a chemical method for revealing serial numbers that have been ground, and less metal seems to have been removed under the barrel, so restoration is not impossible. However, I have no idea what the legal position would be.
Regards, Norm
