K bolt

[ElWoodman]

Proud owner of a Win 1917 mixmaster-JA bbl,Lots of "E"s, a couple "R"s, etc.....Bolt is parkerized, and the only visible markings are an Ordnance Bomb, and the letter "K".........I am curious as to the "K"...Thanks...

Is the K on the top side of the handle next to the bomb? The Eddystone bolt on my M1917 Winchester has a G stamped next to the bomb. Could be an inspector's mark. There's a very small E (for Eddystone) on the under side of my bolt handle.

From C.S. Ferris' book, Kingsbury Machine Tool Corp made replacement bolts during WW11 so maybe the K is for them.

So, does anyone know what the "G" stands for?
