    What does "MB" stamp mean?

    I cannot find what this stamp means on a US&S 1911A1 represents. It is a "MB" on a Marine Corps Barstow rebuild. Anyone know?

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

    You may find the information in the following recent link interesting.

    Not saying the long held mystery is solved. But Magnaflux testing and subsequent inspection stamp does sound feasible.
