<p>[QUOTE=&quot;springfld.arsenal, post: 9488851, member: 54&quot;]A former co-worker’s relative is Chinese and gevevme this rough translation: -unknown symbol near muzzle -“30th. ??? ??? Place” -gun was “made for ???” -(two persons names). Chinese calendar words meaning 1843. -work supervisor name “Ma Hing” -how many guns were in the production lot -three names, people who made it, left one hidden in photo by hardware, one name is “So ???” -bottom section: Weight of gunpowder to use =1.7 old Chinese ounces, Weight of lead ball: 2.2 old Chinese ounces. The words meaning literally “Eat pure medicine” could refer to the type of gunpowder the gun wants to eat?
