Very interesting, how odd where the unit marking is located! Can I get a picture of that area, but not so close?

Ed

Sorry about that, thanks Jan.

Bill, Ron is correct, it is an affliction several of us have.

Your nit marking is in the oddest location. I have one that is on the toe, like yours touches the toe, but never seen one start there and inch upwards towards the trigger... Most are starting where the 6 is ending...

Bill, 1sax meant on the inside of the metal part, I have one that there is a very slight indentation, i.e. have to read backwards marking on the metal. I have seen barrel proofs with oves, more often with eagles, from what I understand, it means either;

1. barrel was replaced by a armory
2. it was accepted by the police
3. accepted by another gov't agency
