McCord front seam heat stamp of 65 2

This early M1 stamp has a gap between the 65 and the 2. There’s not a lightly stamped number in between because McCord stamps don’t go to 6500, and even if they did, it wouldn’t be a front seam. Am I correct in my deductions here?

I think that’s Right Matt :). I know @twthmosesis very familiar w early lot numbers as he schooled me (very nicely) on one of mine. Maybe he can fill us in. Always good to see the whole helmet too

Thanks, just wanted a second opinion as I had someone suggest there was a lightly stamped digit in the gap, but that didn’t make sense to me for the reasons I stated.

I would agree, definitely looks like 65 2 to me.

 

Out of curiosity does it have fixed or swivel bales?  Early mccord fixed bales were different from later ones, as I understand.  And assuming they haven’t been swapped to swivel later on, might help support the theory.

 

 

Just my 2¢
