A Pair of American Eagles

2 Questions:

1. Why is there no bluing under the safety lever with the lever in the down position?

2. Is it not possible that the person stamping the takedown lever was distracted and just FUBARED that part? If that had happened would the factory necessarily have either discarded the part of ground off the misplaced stamp and then stamped the part correctly?

I'm betting that I am not the only one who has seen unrestored wartime firearms with inspection stamps in the wrong places, especially during periods following changes in procedure.

Regards,
Doug
