Thanks a bunch.
Not interested in your AKAI reel to reel. Probably wouldn't remember how to use it. Sounds like a keeper though.

7. No, I haven't "field stripped" it in many years. I will get around to that and verify the serial #'s.

9. No, I did not use a white highlighter on the Naval Acceptance Marks. As I recall, it has always been that bright. I observed it with a 4x jeweler's loup and could not see any foreign substance. I guess I assumed they came that bright. I will attempt to send a close-up shot of it. I don't have a digital camera, so I have to make do with a scanner.

12. Yes, the same proof mark appears on the left side of the breech block knuckle.

14. The "etched" serial # on the side of Mag#2 appears to have been made by one of those vibrating tools that leave a series of dots. Perhaps etched is the wrong terminology.

16. I have never seen or heard of any capture papers. I never knew or met the GI who brought it back. His younger brother worked on San Nicholas Island (off the Calif. Coast) with me from 1962 through 1966. He said his brother brought back approximatey 5 pistols of varying types, dumped them on the floor and told his brothers to each pick one. I left California in 1967 and haven't seen or heard from him since. Not even sure that he is still living. I guess back then I had more on my mind (beer and girls). To be honest, I wasn't educated enough to even know what a provenence was. Wasn't youth great?

I just completed a complete field strip and verified that all internal numbers (firing pin etc.) are the same.

Thanks again!!!
