Steve, I think he may have been referring to the pic of the Banner Mauser in the latest set posted. The very front of the sight block appears to have a very faintly stamped eagle on it. Or am I having an attack of pareidolia?

No, your teeth are OK...It's an upside-down straight-armed eagle...One of the more cartoonish ones...Funny place for it...I'd say red flag time!

I'm not convinced...This has been brought up before, but I don't recall the consensus of opinion on it...

Your ok, it is an E/N on the front of the sight block. You find 'em on Banner Commercial and Police models.
