<p>[QUOTE=&quot;springfld.arsenal, post: 9596652, member: 54&quot;]Thanks.&nbsp; The fact that it was applied easily and quickly via hammer and steel stamp I’m guessing signifies an inspector having approved the work in that area, say the one on the muzzle means he’s checked the diameter, straightness, etc. of the bore.&nbsp; Just today’s guess.&nbsp; Proof marks on small arms are also applied with metal stamps.&nbsp; Maybe shamrock was Pierre the inspector, and pine tree stamp was Louis, who knows.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
