I have used it on Pheasant up north and quail in the western desert of NM. We're a family who believes in using our firearms.

It looks like a Serif font "C" or possibly a "G" with a "W" inside the Serif font character and a cross on top of the Serif font character. Does anyone know what that mark might be?
