I agree, it is Latin, not Spanish. I bought my Model 17 and my Model 19 brand spanky new in 1975. They both had the Markas Registradas marking on them. I have several other Smiths with it on them, but I dunno right now exactly when they were made.

I thought this had something to do with ownership of the company by some larger corporation?
