Daryl, thanks a lot for posting infomation decoding the crossed "X" on these guns. I personally think your data needs to go into the FAQ section of this board. I've printed it out for safekeeping.

I thought one of my Birmy guns, a D. Crockart, was built in the thities but is without the "X" so at least I now know it's much earlier. Another, a Webley turns out to be from 1959....and so on.

Thanks
