Need Opinion on WRA Op Rod

[Orlando]

Anyone ever see a WRA op rod marked this way D35382W.R A ?? There are no dots after the R & A

With Winchester it possible the die was damaged and they just keep using it. But to answer your question I never saw one with missing dots.

I can not recall a Winchester operating rod without the periods, even the last Win 13 has them. Maybe Redfield would know ?

Years ago, a guy in Utah, took some WRA op rods that were not stamped as deep with the drawing number, he removed the Winchester drawing number and re-stamped them D 35382-0
on the bottom.
