If you go threw the posts some months back someone posted about a rifle they owned with what appeared to be a Keith inspection mark. You might also read about it in Keith's book Hell I was There

I am rereading the book again to find it in there, I spoke to an old gunsmith and he told me that the stamp was just the initials "EMK" no crown or crest also he said that I might find the marks on reissued 1903`s and 1917 enfield`s on the left side of the stock and not in the metal receiver or barrel he also told me Elmer did not inspect garands.
Thanks for the help,keep busting caps!
