    Star 30 import stamp?

    I bought a Star 30M from SOG a few years back....used/surplus with original Star plastic box.

    I'm used to seeing some sort of import marking...usually Century's but others too. The Star 30M from SOG has an odd 'import stamp' on the frame dust-cover....Neatly stamped in small print is 'Arm'Tos LW FI Spain'

    I've never been able to find any information about this company....and it crossed my mind that possibly this is an 'export stamp' of some sort....anyhow...just curious if anybody knows who or where/what Arm'Tos LW FI is?

    Thanx for any info or conjecture

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.

    Awsome! Thanx. You know I googled and bing searched for info on 'Arm'tos' and could never find a thing. The pistol in the gun boards topic is pretty much the same as mine...same box...same re-print in English manual and even quite close in serial number to my Star 30. The only real difference I see is that the 'star' on his grips are somewhat different than the star on my grips

    Thanks for the info
