I do find it a bit odd that there is no mention of Ramsey on the placard and the post WWII DoD inspection mark at the top as well. Ramsey retired in 1944 and was called back into service at the Springfield Armory and finally retired in September 1945. Probably given to him in the mid-50's on a visit or re-union.
