Took a few more pics showing off the proof markings and the small brass disc.

I noticed something i missed the first time around, looks like there are overlapping proof marks behind the trigger guard. I see at least one script P (which looks like it is stamped over the top of another script P) but above that is looks like there is the number "80" stamped on top of and just below an earlier stamping of "60".  Maybe someone with better eyes can discern what the first stamping is as the second digit is hard to make out.  Also of interest in the a letter "F" stamped into the stock just behind the rear swing swivel, right in front of the brass disc.

As for the SRS data, the serial is #199684, any info on that would be great.

Any additional input is appreciated!

One last thing, try as I might, I still can't make out any cartouches (letters or date) on the left side of the stock. I see what might be the faint rectangular shaped outline but sadly that part of the stock was badly oil stained and scratched up so it's difficult to say for sure.
