I need a little help with a marking on my M1909 Argentine Mauser. First of all, it is a matching (except for the cleaning rod which is nine numbers off) F block with a 4 digit serial number. The rear sight leaf has an anchor symbol stamped into the metal (this part is numbered with the last 2 digits of the serial number ). However, there are no other "naval" marking on the gun. My question..is this a naval rifle, and if yes, is it normal to just mark the rear sight with the "naval marking"?
