Thanks Norm. It's probably a 'pi' which would be 1957 but I'm giving up on lettres annales deciphering

Maybe a cursive lower case h? (1955) That would be my guess.

The problem is getting what you see on the gun to match the chart. I don't see anything that's a real close match for what we see on those barrel flats.

Have you noticed that there doesn't seem to be a regular order from 1948 to 1961. 1949 is odd, also 52,53 and 61. It appears that they skipped letters that could be mistaken for regular lower case script. I am sure I have seen the mark above on a Belgian gun I have owned. To confuse things further, what do you think this is?

My guess is an odd Delta.
