I've found a few references to the marks, but I have not seen any references to the 'bullet with wings' (or whatever it is!) on the very top of the photo. The right side of that mark has a W.S. under it. Also- I'm surprised it would have been proofed at 1 1/8oz. Is it possible this was a re-proof at some point? Last edited by bls; 09/19/15 07:59 PM.

Also the script on the side of the receiver is not bold but a slight cursive. Last edited by bls; 09/19/15 09:48 PM.
