Enforcer Markings

[rgg_7]

Lots written about Enforcer markings. I'm interested in the construction of the milled oval. Does anybody have the width,length and depth of the milled oval. Looks like one pass with an endmill. Does anybody know the starting and ending serial number for use of this detail? Ron

Why?........

There aren't a lot of surviving Enforcers. I like to see some info published on marking detail to validate the real mccoy's. The info I'Ve seen so far would indicate that Enforces 000 to 300 most likely had the single oval milled marking area. Sure exceptions exist and like to hear about these. After 300 believe the marking area was milled flat and then at some serial number marking was to the existing receiver profile...unissued receiver perhaps? Double lined milling appears to be for correction of marking.....perhaps Envoys made into Enforcers. Some oval dimensions would be great info to see.

Don't fret RGG. All this info is being prepared for publication and general consumption as we speak............. Now, how can I say this in a diplomatic way................? Some of the findings will cause a few tremors and cause many owners of these 'enforcers' to look very closely at what they have.

Just hold on, it's all on its way....................

Will this be hard back or paperback ?

Put me down for a publication.....glad to see that someone has taken this on. Ron

Sorry Ron, it's just that I get suspicious when someone want's to know where all the stamps are and what they look like.
I see too many fakes coming up for sale and they are getting harder to spot as some of them are very close to real.
In a few years these will be considered ridgy digge.

Think a lot of Enforcers are considered that now, looking forward to the Publication, probably the easiest fake to knock up is the Enforcer, just my point of view.

Most clones are very obivious. I guess if a chap had all the parts one could be put together however some of those parts are so rare...ie the safety, 00 bolt head and 19T proof contact parts. I'd like to see some general info to segergate the offical ones from the Charnwood's or other assemblers. I've seen a few of these that had barrels dating back to 1969 which may be correct for Charnwood however not an original 73/74 assembled Enforcer. It's great to pictures of markings however some actual dimension certainly is conclusive. After all NCRS do this for classic cars...why not enforcers and the like? Ron
