If you go back in the thread, you will find, at the same time the camera broke, it was discovered the "3" just might have been a poorly stamped "6".
I'm reminded of the time I sold a Krag at a gunshow during the brief rifle registration period here in Canada. On the Krag, the serial number had been recorded as an "8" when it was plainly a "3". Nonetheless, I was able to convonce the RCMP officer who was doing the checking that it was, indeed, an "8" and the sale went through without a hitch. About three months later the registry was abolished so it didn't matter anyway. GD

At this point I would just say that he sent the Kodak film off to be developed … and leave it at that grin

This thread reminded me a little of the end of a 2-week trip Eileen and I made to Namibia in 1999. We mostly hunted big game, but also wanted to do some upland bird hunting, so brought her Beretta over-under, which we could both shoot well.

When we were going through Namibian customs when leaving through Windhoek airport, we handed our papers and the guns to the customs guy. He started insisting the serial number on the Beretta did NOT match the papers, and the situation was getting a little sticky when our professional hunter showed up--and after looking over our shoulders at the shotgun, turned it around on the bench.

The serial number was all 0s, 6s and 9s, and all of a sudden it was correct!

I suspect it could have been incorrectly stamped by a worker with a Monday morning hangover.

After reading this old projected and long recurring discussion, I went and did a google search and found this jewel posted on another web site. This might project this topic into a few more years of doubt and debate. Is this evidence that there may have been some Mod 70s stamped in 30Gov03 ?? I wonder ?

And the beat goes on !

To this Date, there is no Certified proof, to verify such claims!

Per the WACA Web site!

There has been 30-GOV'T-06, CHIPPED ROLL DIE STAMPED, CALIBER MARKINGS!

This debate has gone on for several yrs. now, mainly due to one Rifle mfg. in 1948, that to the Naked eye, sure looks like a 30-03 caliber, but no proof, has come forward to verify!
When you put it under magnification, it's plain as day it's a 30-06!

It's not RARE, it's not Factual, so at this point in Time, it's still Speculation, until proven with records!
