Willing to bet it is the same stamp size on all but the shotgun reciver. But it is very distinctive. Les
Can someone explain to me why the MP stamp would be put UNDER the stockline. Versus all other "acceptance" stamps being above stock line for ease of viewing.
Also, IIRC, the agreement of the group was that the Savage rifles viewed were stamped BEFORE the barrels were blued.
There are too many Savage rifles to have been stamped at RCMP facilities. Were all vendors trying to meet RCMP standards in anticipation of large orders in 1927, and thus had in-house inspectors accept (stamp) their products?
Was there something else going on in the firearms industry that required the MP stamp?
We have a historian with access to weapons that were likely produced in 1927 ('cept for the M70, but how tough is it to reproduce the MP stamp?) Does the historian have official RCMP documentation that explains the MP stamp?
