Dear Experts,
I have a nice Type III barrel band stamped on the left of the band with a "D" set within a diamond shape. Can anything be ascertained from this mark as to production period (Late WW II - post-war) or manufacturer of this band? Thank you, Bob

Made as a replacement part by Donaldson Company Inc, St Paul MN. Contract ran from June 1944-Apr 1945.

Observed on some late Winchester carbines as original issue.
