.W. SALES
SA lX

This is stamped in the back of the frame right above the lanyard loop of my 1917 Navy. Is this some guys name, or does is it mean something else?

I have seen that import mark once before. My guess was:
?.W. SALES (not sure of the first letter)
SA., TX. ( Which could be San Antonio, Texas)

Hi Tom,
Is your 1917 Navy on the Navy List? If you don't have the list send me a PM with the gun's serial number and your email address, I'll send you the link.
Regards, Norm
