1958 Model 94 has “NH” stamped under receiver.

1959 Model 94 has “DH” stamped under receiver.

I appreciate the time taken by anyone who can answer this question.

Jeff,

The markings are inspection stamps applied after the gun passed a “fit, finish, and function” test There were many dozens of inspectors, each with his own unique 2-digit stamp.

Jeff,

On the DH marked 94, is that a “600” marked on the locking bolt as well?

Sincerely,

Maverick

Maverick,

No, looks like the locking bolt of the DH marked 94 has “-.003” stamped on top line and “G.M.” stamped underneath it.

The locking bolt of the NH marked 94 has only “G.M.” stamped on it.
