1939 s/42

The rear most eagle inspector's marking on your receiver is definately a different larger die, but IMHO this whole E/83 business is a lot of "sound & fury" over some poorly made E/63 dies. If the large SWE/63 has not appeared in later production, I could believe that the head inspector, actually changed. TH

Hmmmm...Looking at Jan's (and my) stamps...I have to say that the first stamp on the OP's S/42 is pretty sorry looking...Like maybe the stamp was right at the end of it's life and was pretty worn out...
