Vern,some of the members here are very detail oriented. The 1917 photo might be distorted due to the photo angle and the fact that the chamber on which it is stamped is curved.
All of the acceptance proofs you speak about are stamped in seperate operations . When the pistol passes it is proofed. This takes place 4 different times. Each strike is made on it's own so a variable amount of force would be normal.
I am assuming you are talking about the barrel proof?

The leather on this Artillery rig is simply amazing. Take a very close look at the stock boot and it's keeper strap. I have never seen a better one.

The Very Rare carry strap is also worth looking at. These were always the first thing to go on one of these rigs. This one is a very nice example.

Not to mention the Double magazine pouch...what a color! Condition and markings to die for. What I would give to cherry pick this rig over!

The holster itself it also very respectable. Again, some things I like about it...No LOVE about it. Some things I really don't like.

It might go for a ton of money.....we will see.
