Wood w/o iron 8.1" long, wood at iron end is 1.46 wide. Serial number is 176787 which could be an early Flues. Also notice the "R" stamped in the wood by the iron. Link to pics.... My problem lies in reconciling my gross habits with my net income. - Errol Flynn

It doesn't tell you anything about what the problem may have been nor any repair done there. I think it was stamped just as the gun was recv'd and even before it was passed along to any of the Service Dept 'smiths. Seems Walt Snyder posted that info on older threads when the same question came up.
