Ross Mk III M-1910 vs M-10

[Surpmil]

I can't see a few less digits in a stamp simplifying production, but one other thought occurs: change was rapid in small arms in the late 19th and early 20th Centuries and Ross may have thought it best not to have his design "dated".

Now that you mention it, that's an excellent point.
