Better pic, circle with arrow at top and 2 squiggly lines below, thought this was fat man? My old Canon can't focus in any closer. Very well could be a bring back, the darn Enfield was too large, so maybe a few of these came back. Later donated by the widow? When I get time I will contact the museum and try and get details.
The history on how these WW2 carbines made it to Canada I don't have any idea. The ones I have seen for sale [6] in last 2 months have no import marks at all.

That is a different mark for sure. The top section does look simliar to the "pine tree" mark shown on other IP receivers. Perhaps that was one of the first marks used? Dunno.
Great, clear pictures BTW. |

The M1 books and bulletins don't show this mark?

Here is what I am seeing between the two angles.
It is possible that it was two stamps that are on top of each other. It is possible that it was reported, but early on we relied on descriptions. How would this be described? Circle and arrow is (or was) the symbol for male. It may be a partial mark. the rest??????

Looks like Hitchcock or an alien.
Based on the OP's S/N this might be the earliest mark used? New2 has hit on something I've never noticed. I haven't seen many, but so far all ordinance bombs stamped on the flat appear to be in the white. Can the OP confirm. Other members please check and report. |

Close to drawing but has 2 separate squiggly legs. Does not appear to be a double stamp.
Yes flame bomb in white, check my photo with grease print.

Really like CCNL #374 with the IP info. Learned things that I couldn't find on the net. Such as there is a Navy Vet bring back IP with 1.76 with an oval cut stock. And that the 5 digit ink stamp was blue maybe turned greenish with age? Was common for IP/SG stocks.
Thanks
