The bolt looks like it was electro penciled to match the receiver serial. There’s a J 6 on the top flat part of the bolt. Also I can’t see any evidence of wood filler 

Hello What do I have here?  There are no markings on the barrell other than P.  The only mark i can find on the reciever is on the top of the tand behind the hammer and it is hard to decifer.  I can read a last patent date of 1874.  It has a round top receiver.  I removed the nadgard and found no serial number or marking on the barrel.  There is no marking or serial number on the bottom of the tang behind the trigger either.  The sight has a 1234 on the side.  It has a very dark bore and is rifled.  The stock is loose and I believe some of the original case hardening is still visable on the reciever. Thank you for the help and any information you can provide.  

Yes you are right, ill be adding the info and images into my little reference folder for future use. I actually rather like them even if probably post war. 

gee wiz gulf command!!!!!!!!!!!!! nice assortment. how many Sherman rounds do you have??

. Hi Charlie,   Sorry to say that it was actually the 6th of June this year and THAT much interesting stuff was coming and going it was hard work trying to capture as much as I could,  you are correct though that is the early one-piece instrument cluster, the builder I can't say,   should I see it again I will make a point of finding out.     In the late 1970's when myself and friends were buying and restoring GMC trucks we would often find field reconditioned trucks and a mixture of Chevrolet and GMC cabs, engines, engine panels, dash panels with early or late gauges configurations   In the early 1990's there were fields full of GMC trucks in Holland, Belgium and France as the armies disposed of all these old wartime trucks, however a lot of the specialist trucks were retained by these armies, such as these pump trucks, pontoon trucks, bridging trucks, the owner of that truck said it had fairly recently come out of army stocks in the 2000's.             regards lewis.   ... 

Check out the set in post 10 and compare it to the set in post 12. Similar pattern. And yes it looks like they took a shot of a real pair for the one on a hanger. Def not the same one as on the mannequin.

Yeah I noticed that as well, but his bio doesn't suggest that.  The star should be on his American Defense Service medal since he was overseas pre-WWII and earned the Foreign Service bar.  I'm betting it's an error with his ribbons.

I appreciate the re-posting.

John's right it is a Robbin's pattern so it would seem White & Co ordered these and had them stamped for resale

. Hi Cobra 6.   Yes that would be SOME SCORE finding one of those or similar.   I just remembered that I took a couple of photographs  for you at a militaria fair here in Normandy in June, a dealer with a mixture of different nationalities.       regards lewis.   ...
