There is some sort of mark showing on the photos but I cannot make out details.

FYI, still later small characters in the frame well were used.

Wayne and Dave,

Just FYI, I took a little time and enlarged and lightened the area on the frame under the right grip panel.

The HK final inspector's mark is there. It is a 7. And that is correct for the period.

As mentioned, shortly thereafter HK moved to the six-pointed star indicating final inspection.

Hope this helps.

The mixed form of serialization is anomalous, but nothing surprises me about early HKs or later ones, for that matter.

WHOOPS!!!! Sorry Dave, did not see your post. Apologies for stepping on it.
