What have I got here?

[painter777]

Are those W or M stamps?

What do they stand for?

Bolt handle looks to have been heated and bent? Or are they suppose to be like this?

I'll investigate more on my own, just needed a kick start.

BTW, the initials carved on it are the Grandfathers' of the young guy that passed it along.

Appreciate your help gentlemen,

Charlie


PS Patrick, I don't believe it's worth the price of the book
