    symbol, number or letter on early rear sight covers

    There is quite a list if you dig into early GCAicon newletters. The marking appears to have started after the drawing number was deleted on the Springfield flat cover in mid 1940.

    Winchester flat covers are not marked all others are Springfield Attachment 41721Attachment 41720Attachment 41722Attachment 41723Attachment 41724Attachment 41725
