Thanks Charlie, I have a HI stock that has 86 4 ink stamp in the slide channel. I took it to mean the 86th. day of 1944. Would that be correct?
The RSG stock that I pictured has the station/inspection stamp. I think I got it now.....Frank

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.

Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles.

I should have added HI also.
Best I recall you have the Julian dating figured out.

Well Gentlemen, Maybe we should define the meaning of Cat ?? This is what I call a Cat. Mike.Attachment 20518 Attachment 20519

Mikey, "Catalina" did not come to mind. When we think Cats we think "Caterpiller".
Did your gramps stay with flying after the war?
Take care.....Frank

Mike,

You have a family history to be proud of.

Funny though, when I think of a Catalina, I think of this car from my teen years.

Is a Cat and a PBY the same thing, or just planes with some similarities?

Thanks Frank and Charlie for the stock info. I was really questioning the one that looks like it bounced, it looks almost like ink instead of a stamp - very faint. Here's some more pictures. I can't see anything in the ink of the slide channel other than it's there. I can see the RSG in one sling well, and RS for sure in the other - maybe something after the RS? I've got a repair on one of these that I'm going to wait awhile before showing the picture - it's kind of ugly! - Bob

Jim, yea that's a car. Love those Pontiacs!!

Bob, looks like 29710, must be the inspector/station stamp that Charlie refered to.

Yes the Consolidated PBY is the "Catalina."
