3-44 barrel date

[CrossedCannons]

Most inland barrels from early '43 to early'44 had two P's and a punch mark near the chamber.
A QHMC will likely have the Inland proof P and will have large looped QHMC P. There is more to the story and it was discussed here a while back. I'll use the new google search and see if I can find it.

Like this (muzzle L & breech R)?



I haven't found any pictures of QHMC proofs and I don't see any punch marks on the barrel.

Early 5 mil.
I have a 5.05 with a 2-44 and a 5.13 3-44 and a 5.16 with a 4-44

I was going to say the same for a 3-44 barrel. I know because while my 5.03 Inland does not have the original barrel, I did enough research to determine what date it should have on it.
