Nice one Tim. Glad to see you found one. Got it at auction or a local purchase? I was looking for the flaming bomb on the left side. I think there is something there but faint. My commando has a 4 digit serial and has the bomb. Have you seen the article on the web by Charles Pate on the commando? http://www.manatarmsbooks.com/pate.html

Thanks,

:confused:Nice one Tim. I was looking for the flaming bomb on the left side. I think there is something there but faint. My commando has a 4 digit serial and has the bomb.

This one has no final inspection / acceptance marks - which was common for the late Commandos - according to Pate.

It completes my collection of Commandos / as I now have one with each of the three variations of martial markings (or lack there of) 2, w/ 4" barrels and the one Jr. pictured here ...

(unless of course there really is a 6" barrel version out there somewhere) :confused:
