A Vickers, and a question of propriety

Thanks Ed, Dwight,
I can see no signs of any grinding or renumbering on the barrel. It does not look like anything was removed from the barrel. Witness marks are fairly close in line.

The left grip is coarse with 6610 inside and GS, while the right grip is fine and blank. I was going by memory in my other post and apparently my memory isn't all that great.

I'm having Ed try to clean up a couple of pictures that aren't very good.

So what is the C/16 ?
So what do I have and who reworked it and when? Is it a correct variation? I know the 7 (smaller) was added to the serial number on the right side of the breech and the rear toggle assembly, but the barrel serial number (709) looks all original, as does the frame serial number (709) and are of the same style.

Thanks -- Bill
