A clear photograph may help someone identify what you have. Read what follows and consider the suggestion before you take any photographs of the stamping or engraving on your gun. I have posted this previously.
Some have suggested using wax to highlight and bring out stamps and engraving, but I have found using a piece of old chalkboard chalk like they used when many of us were in school works well. When rubbed over the metal surface, the chalk helps make any markings much more visible, and it’s easily cleaned up leaving no evidence anything was done. As an example, both the following photographs were taken at about the same distance with the same camera and lighting (handheld, so slight difference). Difference is that before the second photograph chalk was rubbed into the engraving. Believe you can see that one is significantly easier to read than the other. No other adjustments or funny business between the two photographs.
