Carbines and More... Detroit July 1967

I looked through the pics in the link Painter provided. Picture 26046 shows Police with lever action rifles. My question is, would they have been stamped in the stocks like other police weapons?

In some cases these firearms were requisitioned...at the time. Anything held in store would be marked, I'm quite certain. I've seen Mod '94 Winchesters used by police here that were marked, also Mod '70s, FNs...

As a kid growing up in Chicago, we had neighbors that were cops. One down the block carried a personal 1894 Winchester 30-30 in his trunk. It was his deer hunting rifle. My cousin the Postal Inspector carried an NRA/DCM M1 Carbine.
