the OC canons. They were applied after the pistol was blued

That one I'd never heard before Rick... Didn't know.

But my statement was to the effect that it had been refinished but there's no way to tell if it was someone that was used to refinishing them or an arsenal... I think it was bead blasted and parked not buffed but who "Done it" is the mystery.

Never knew about the marking after it was blued. I always thought all marks went on before...

Definitely buffed and re-Park, slide has the second type addresses from serial number 935000 to 1016000.
Mistake on your serial! RR started serials at 916405 (Nov. 1942) to 2465139 (Jul. 1945
Barrel should have a HS ( High Standard) marked on the lug of the barrel.
Du-Lite process has been phased out and replaced by Parkerizing at +/- 1016000 (Aug. 1943)
