I am interested in finding out when Lyman changed the patent markings on their #5 series from Pat Aug. 31 86 and July 14 91 to Lyman REG US PAT OFF? Thanks in advance if someone knows

Craig,

I do not know the precise date, but based on what I have observed, it was very near or during the WW I time period.

Not much help here, but my M1906 Winchester # 834059, shipped 6-18-1930, has the Lyman Pat. Date on it’s #5. Sights appear to be special ordered. Big LarryLyman-5A.jpg
