When did the marking on the receiver front start?

I'm not sure we've ever pinned down an exact serial number range. Off the top of my head, I think 1925-1926? My combo kit that's beginning of 1924 (256,xxx) doesn't have a G on the front.

I wouldn't be surprised if it was around the 300,000 range?
