Cuban marking on rolling block?

Post by Baw1 »

Some years ago a post on this forum speculated that the crown over RV mark occasionally seen on rolling block receivers or barrels indicates ownership by pro-Spanish Cuban volunteers during the 1868-1878 Ten Years War. Has this ever been confirmed or at least generally accepted?

Yes. The stamp is a re-inspection mark after the arm was returned to the Cuban arsenal for rework.
