Hi Standard Information

John,

The initials under the left grip panel are RNS which I believe are Bob Shea's initials.

        Hello John, I think I gave you this information a few years ago, If you could check that it would be better, but I'm pretty sure it was RNS which is Bob Shea as you know.

        Hello Jim, You are correct. You did provide that information about two years ago and I failed to post it to my worksheet. Yes, it was Bob Shea. Thanks, John Stimson

  Hello Jeff, Who was the gunsmith who assembled this pistol? The gunsmith's initials are generally found under the left grip. If not there I will give a second place to look. John Stimson
