On which marks have you gone awry?

I was reading what seems to be the most available PDF on the net, which isn't properly arranged and doesn't include much of what I was seeing on the firearm.

It was the one from the NRA museum. I've lent firearms to the museum before, and it's a top-notch operation. Thought the document would be as inclusive as possible. I suppose not.

I then found a scan of a document on a simple image search which correctly identified most of the marks that were confusing me, some of which you've handled in your post here.

Specifically, the eagles didn't match up with what I was seeing in the NRA information, and neither did the large circle indicating gauge. Now I know what that means. smile
