Hey Guys,
Just got in a Rem. Rand that appears all original but for several things. It appears the have been worked by an armorer to make a match pistol. Tight (replacement) barrel bushing. Lugs on barrel welded and fitted. Frame rails lowered. All is excellent work. The balance of pistol appears to be all stock and correct 1945 stuff.
Here is what I need help with.... The slide is stamped on the LH side, between the hardened front end and the factory RR markings, with the following......( not freehand sloppy letters, but as if a die was used. All letters perfectly aligned and spaced. )
SFC Emory B Parker
US 53-344-571
Has anyone ever heard of him ? Is the number a military ID number ?
I'll get some pics when I can, no camera at work right now.
Thanks !!!
Emri
