Draft Navy Chart

I have written to Heinz to correct an error that I have made in reporting my 1906 navy serial #8638 as a 1st issue altered. That gun is really a 1st issue unaltered. My 1st issue altered has serial number 587. The saftey is as reported with the 't' missing under the dimple. The altered gun has the dockyard marking of W.K. 1564. The old "Gesichert" was ground off.
I was surprised to find that my 1906 navy commercial is a 1st issue unaltered. I always assumed that it was a second issue.
