One might hazard a WAG that frames were not necessarily assembled into guns in the order that they were manufacturerd, but rather went into a parts "bin" and were retrieved for assembly randomly.

One might hazard a much more speculative WAG, that there was more than one fabrication line for frames and it took time to get each of them converted to stock lugs.

I was thinking there was a standard of applying serial numbers, i.e. that the serial number was not applied until AFTER the gun was complete, it was test fired, proofed and taken apart and all small parts numbered.

Ed,

You are close, the marking indtructio(GÃ?Â¶rtz & Bryans) have the serial numbers being stamped as the last step -before- power proofing.

Dwight,
Is that the case for both the frame and barrel? I knew that the barrels were stamped as one of the last parts of the process, hence the halo effect because they were stamped post-bluing. I can't locate a reference to back up my thoughts, but was under the impression that frames got numbered much earlier in the process. Appreciate your input on this, because it's a great learning process.
