Golden State Arms always stamped their rifles with the company name. My Santa Fe has the original serial number it left Maltby with. I don't know what Gibbs did as far as numbers.
I have two Santa Fe Arms rifles, one is pure sporter, scrubbed(No4 Faz), one is a No5 clone and not scrubbed(M47C). Both have the marking as shown in lucky dogs photo.
Santa Fe left the original serial number intact. They did not re-number their conversions.
