Costanzo's Corrections

policeluger · 10-26-2004, 11:08 AM

All 3 proofs in Costanzo, page 227, read the same, the only difference is the "chicken scratch proof", symbol proof and lack of proof, and it is good to hear that my rusty translation is close, that it is a symbol and not a "word"...as for LAR, the pictures are not the best, but it reads as Costanzo has it, if you could get me a clear picture of an 8" inscription, other then what Costanzo shown on page 227, perhaps I could read it....perhaps of interest is the Iranian year runs from March 21 to March 21, first day of spring to first day of spring, so order/delivery time frame for Lugers could run a bit off of what most folks think it was, not Jan 1 to Jan 1...and Walters give no picture or insight to a proof mark for 8" barrels...just shows top and left sides....
