On a side note, I was always amazed by how many people would pay MORE for a carbine or Garand that had been professionally refinished. A former seller and sponser here use to sell these with aftermarket barrels and stocks, often just leaving the receiver, op rod and internal parts as original. These often sold for about double of what an all orgininal could be had for, they just didn't look as nice as the seller did excellent work.
I believe Dick can answer your question about the stampings. You may have to PM him a photo?
