Left side, behind trigger guard, GHS monogram in a circle, indicating early 20s military acceptance.
No serial number on frame. Not defaced, not removed, but no number there at all. The frame is completely smooth. Magnaflux shows no sign of a number, no discoloration when cold blued (it's unfinished at present), so it's all the same metal, not welded.
One person told me this is a factory replacement frame for a damaged military one, that got out of the factory without a number. PErfectly legal, being pre-68, just rare.
Anyone have any info?
