Odd Magazine Marking

Luke,

For what it's worth, the 5717 "e" looks like a script "b" to me, which would mean that the magazine probably came from a 1910 model, if it is an "e" then it would have to have come from a 1911 model (the only year they made e blocks with the old style magazine numbering). The "07" is obviously a reference to agent 007, greatly increasing its collector value on E-Bay. KFS
