	Does anyone have a source or any pictures of the ordnance stamps used by this facility? In question is a very small cross cannons stamp (1/4" max) and any info on stamps of alpha characters used to designate this facility. Thanks, Robert

	The only stamp I've seen that was used by the Manila Depot was on a 1903 Springfield. They marked the stock on the left part of the wrist. It was marked with PODD in a rectangle with very squared off corners.

	The small crossed cannons (sometimes called the "ordnance wheel") show up from time to time, often with two large heavily-struck (HH and JJ have been noted) letters beneath. I do not know if they are related or were applied separately. It seems they may be WW1-era overhaul marks - but, I'm nearly positive that they have no relation to the Philippines.
