Tried going by the date of manufacture codes listed on website and my markings don't seem to coincide.
I've attached an image of my left side barrel markings

Re: Trying to date my 760 Gamemaster
No image present. How many symbols and letters are there on the LHS of the barrel?

Thank you...that had me confused. Typo, eh? (Maybe it was a "Monday gun!") I appreciate the confirmation.
Cheers,

Re: Trying to date my 760 Gamemaster
So...going a bit further, I get the "D" for September and the "M" for 1965. I had seen those previously on the barrel markings page.
What about the "squiggle" and the single/double 3...thoughts on those?

The symbol, and almost always a symbol rather than a number or letter, ahead of the dating letters, usually only 2 dating letters, is the final inspector's mark. The symbol behind the dating letters, usually a number or two digit number but not always, is the assembler. The symbols and letters are stamped on from right to left as the firearm goes thru the different processes of being put together and tested .

Ah...makes perfect sense. That simple information, if added to the dating resource page on this site would be quite useful. You ought to submit that for addition to the page. Thanks again!
