Sorry TR,
Had a long phone call.
OK,
These pictures are of 2 Hand guards (not the ones pictured in the opening post). One a RMC the other a QRMC. I think you'll see the different style M on the QRMC vs the RMC. These are pretty dirty, so I just wiped off the bottom rails with some lacquer thinner and wiped a light coat of oil on so I could get the markings to stand out for the pictures.
Now I know stamps on wood can vary in look, especially on wood this old, but in general all these markings and milling styles look correct to me.
Pay close attention. Later on Weds or Thursday night I'll show you something of interest on both of these...... Stay tuned !!
Cheers,
