Let us know when you get a factory letter, and if the Historical Foundation records tell you anything.

That trip back to the service department wouldn't be the time the hammer was installed, but it may have been back subsequently and the service department just didn't add another date stamp to it. Always remember that the service department appears to have been pretty inconsistent over the years with what they stamped on a gun when it was in their hands.
The gun is currently sporting a pretty dang good re-blue, and I'd guess it's at least the second (or more) re-finish the gun has had in it's life. I'd be surprised if the service department wasn't who installed the hammer and re-finished it. If it was done by someone else it hardly matters as the work is clearly up to their standards.
I'm very interested to see what, if anything, can be found in the SWHF records.
What a gem of a gun, I am very envious!
