Identifying some trades on the P7M13
I just got my MGC P7M13 awhile ago, and it's pretty sweet.
I notice this trade on it, has a bird with a big "N" on the bottom. The manual explains what it means, but it's all in Japanese, so I have no clue what it is about, can anyone help me out? Oh, and also the trade on the far right, beside the "IE", looks like a weird squiggly, I don't know what that means either. I'm just a curious fellow.

The Eagle is called the Bundesadler, a commonly used German insignia. The N indicates the gun has been proof tested for nitrocellulose. A bit redundant on modern firearms and is likely more tradition than anything else. The IE is the date code for when the gun was manufactured, in this case 84 (1984).

I've seen that wierd squigly thing on other HK guns too, perhaps it's just some other HK symbol.

From HKPRO:
The symbol to the right of the date code is a stag horn. It is the symbol of a particular proof house, located in Ulm, Germany. German firearms are sent to proof houses before sale, for inspection and quality control. This is much like a 'UL' listing for American small appliances. There are other proof houses, for example, in Kiel and Hannover, Germany, but HK uses the Ulm proof house exclusively. |
