I want to thank all you guys for taking the time to research my navy proof mark. Pete, you did a great job !! My thanks to you ! A qustion still remaing though is that funny looking stamp on the lh frame behind the 24. That's the one Ron said it looks like a Siamese proofs. Could it be like a previous post said, a police proof of some country ? Again, many thanks guys.......Mike
PS..I'm working on the list of serial numbers that that I have some history on, ie. purchase affidavits from vetrans, descriptions of, import papers, or research material. I will have to copy it to microsoft word and send it to my e-mail folder to be forwarded to interested members. It's too long to post to the forum. I should have it ready by the end of the week. Example is a copy of the US test trials of the Borchardt, Borchardt serial #'s 633 and 1019. 1019 had under the barrell " For Ely cartidge only ", and capture papers which are free to the owners of the appropiate guns, etc., etc. Hoping all this will help the Forum community.
