I was wrong about the location of my '1920' stamp - it's centered in the chamber top. The numbers are imperfectly spaced but appear to be the same dies as Mr. Tinker's 1920 mark. I have the three eagles as per #31 in the proof marks, 'some 1920 police and military reworks'. There's another one on top of the barrel near the chamber. The barrel and frame numbers match, but have different suffixes (4084l, 4084h). Some external parts have been forced from '83' to '84'. Okay, you say, an obvious parts gun. Maybe, but there are still traces of straw where it should be and fire blue on the springs, and the pistol is rust-blued with matching color and wear on all parts. http://www.hunt101.com/?p=209654&c=548&z=1
