Hi Mike,

Possibly "State Corectional Department" rifle # 10? JAWAG.....Frank

Probably as noted; a property tag.

Have found U.S brass tags and dollar coins set into Carbine stocks in N.Z. Hard to understand, but no one seems interested in this aspect. Mike. N.Z

Anyone have some pics of those good luck charms to share?
