I disassembled and cleaned the bolt and trigger housing. There was a bit of old grease in there so it had to be done. That was my excuse to explore further. What does this 61 stamp on the sear represent? And what is going on with the finish on the hammer? The colors are shifted a little in the photo but you can see it's mottled blackish and gray-greenish.

The sear looks to be a BI or B1

Dan mentions seeing B| marked in this post. http://www.uscarbinecal30.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3982&PID=28068&title=b-marked-type-1-sear#28068 At the top of that discussion is a sear with a distinct B on the top.
