Default Proof Marks on a 3913/6906 Top End

Any advice or opinions would be appreciated.

I was going through my stuff, cleaning things up and such, and noticed some different proof marks on a complete slide assembly I got. It is for a 3913/6906, with Novak's. I don't remember where it came from, (Ebay?), but it works great on on my 5906 and 669/6906, although a bit long in the rear on the 669/6906.

The "D" is like the "D" on my Danish Contract Swedish Lahti, but the "Flaming Bomb" is like U.S. Proof Marks.

I saw your response in another thread.. I thought I would answer it in the correct thread. To be fair to "no responses"...you never actually ask what the proof marks mean.. Anyway...
Very interesting proof marks. The Flaming Bomb is US ordinance stamp. The gun was shipped over seas somewhere. I did not find the source in a 15 minute web search. It's definetley not Star of David / Israeli as it is a 5 point not a 6 point star. I cant help more than to say it's likely that 2 or possibly 3 of the marks are from the same country but may be for different reasons. Example one for country, 1 for a region, military or importer. The middle symbol may be actual letters although they are not familiar to me. It's possibly asian or african but they are just guesses based on what it is not. Maybe someone will pick this up and help out. Good luck.

JIm,
One thought I had on this.. assume you still have this gun was to check the grip frame for any markings. Can you take a pic of both sides assuming there is something to photograph?
