Etched number in S-1928 trigger frame

[benedw60]

I found this in a box of gun parts i bought at a local gun show and was wondering about the 096tf that is etched in the bottom of the trigger frame and if it had any meaning?

I think that may be 57960, 7 in the European style, where the put a line through it, so it matches the 2nd stamped number.

 

Stay safe

Yes, I think I have a trigger frame with the electric pen serial number on it. I'll have to check.

During the war it was common practice for a TSMG coming in for Depot repairs for

a barrel replacement etc, to have the armourer remove the receiver and barrel and replace it

with a new barrel and receiver and reassemble, to get the gun back into the fight.

 

Then as time permitted in the field depot or back at an upper level repair the barrel would be changed

and the new barrel and receiver were sent back to field depot and put into stores.

 

This process caused mismatching serial numbers on rec and lowers. This looks like someone trying to realign the serial number

for inventory.
