    John, Where did you find out that the last letter was the initial of the inspector? I have often wondered whether the letter indicated a time period or year. Have you ever seen a list of the inspectors at Augusta?

    I have an Ordnance Dept. document from about 1921 which clearly states that the last letter is the inspector's last initial.

    I have identified only one inspector who was assigned to Augusta on a temporary basis (about six months).
