Oh, sorry, I'm getting too senile for this. Corrected my post.

Haha. I wasn't trying to call you out, just making sure you were aware.

Hello guys. Another question about a specific mark that no one seems to have commented on yet. What exactly is this marking? It is extremely faint and this is the best photo I could get. Thanks.

Mike,

That's the "flaming bomb" inspector mark. You can see the flames but the round bomb below it is gone. Here it is shown complete:

Well, it finally happened. The Smith & Wesson letter arrived. Turns out, the pistol is what you guys assumed, kind of a mystery. Here's the letter if you want to read it for yourself. Thanks for all the help.
