In Response To: Re: Need help with a Siffert ()

Ed,
No expert here, but I think that the 'milled down' area that the '2' from 12 was due to the cal. 11 being 'upgraded' when they were converted over to be a cal 12 - done in the factory. Don't take that as gospel, I'm not that informed on Sifferts.

Stewart

: Actually, the Cal "12" is not on a screw head, but is, in
: fact, stamped in an area that has been machined down slightly.
