Prototype's dies

[surlydog]

Pete, I will correct my last statement Took a glass this am and studied the GL on toggle It DOES appear to be dbl. stamped..My question is does anyone have another GL marked piece to compare die stamps of the GL. From photo's I have seem it appears to be original in detail..The angle of the safety in photo's puts the piece at a 30-45 degree prosepctive to the camera. Also of course it is not the issue Navy safety. I think this gun was a prototype that was submitted for Navy approval and then given as a presentaion..though the die stamped areas show no sign of being polished over, and this has a high polish/ finish to all surfaces. From photo's, other prototypes do not appear to have this finish..Have you seen any close up?.My logic, in what is turning into a debate, far from my original questions on dies is this. Why would someone create a masterfull fake with the expence it would take and part with it for a VERY reasonable price, I received this gun from a walk-in at a gun show who traded an Atty for a gun in the (4) figures. I have not made any real effort to sell it, I have had offers to buy at a large amount of money..but I have pursued documenting this instead the best I can ..throught the dies themselfs..if others (prototypes)
have the same die bbl. die flaws then all are real or all are fake..makes sense to me..
