Wouldn't the George crown mark by the hammer on the side plate be stamped rather than engraved into it? Is this normal? It seems unusual to see. (and I'm still not too comfortable with the slots on the bolts in pics 2 and 4...the 2 photos in Post #5 are more in the condition of what I would have expected to see in a 200 year old military sidearm.) Have the 2 pieces been arsenal replaced? They have the matching numbers.
