Fresh RMC Stamp

[frankderrico]

This is how an original stamp should look. This is from my collection. I do not know how the damage occurred.

FrankieD,
Have a metal detector?
I had a NPM stock with the under forearm destroyed and also wondered how?
Son mentioned my detector to me, after knocking the barrel band spring out, we had 'Hits' on the damaged/splintered area. After some digging around we found some small distorted metal frags. Never thought to get pictures. Stock became a wood patch donor stock.
Your damage looks very similar.

Cheers,
