On the Pirkle’s book, he explains the type of markins after the circa number #200,000  : “22 short”

Which was the caliber marking before circa  200,000 ?

thanks for your help Laugh

Perkins,

There isn’t a book that has a good explanation as to the evolution of the 22 markings that I remember. The Gordon book does have good pictures of them with the serial number of the pictured gun. The Stone book did mention it but no detail.
