In which year was the revolver built?
Does anyone else have information?
Thank you and best regards!

The single initial marks are from the inspector that checked that particular item. There were a lot of them and I'm not aware of any list of their names. We do know the names of the the final acceptance inspectors that stamped their cartouche in the left grip.
