Hi Mark. Very good to hear from you and Happy New Year! Thank you for the feedback. Yes, the eye is lozenge shaped.

I am still trying to figure out the "A" stamping on the collar. Amory mark? Inspector mark? I recall reading somewhere that the "A" stamp indicated an acceptance mark into the arsenal. Not sure though..

Well, if you find a reference to arsenal acceptance marks, please list it here! I've often wondered about many of these mysterious stamps, initials, symbols, etc.
