Thanks, Ron...

I hope I did not appear to be doubting Tom's ability to make a righteous buy. If my posting conveyed that, please let me apologize...!

Just trying to confirm what I thought I saw in the photo and to find out when pantographs were used.

Any tips as to how to spot legitimate, historical pantographing from modern-day Waffenfabrik USA pantographing...??? Imagine legitmate, period-correct pantographed numbers/letters would have a fair amount of oxidation & rust in the carved lines...(???) since the metal is left in-the-white after the property marks were applied...(???)

Regards,
