" & " Stamp Appearing on Spencer Breechblocks

[mark anderson]

I was wondering if this is the marking of a modern manufactured block or some type of vintage inspection/proofmark ?

The "&" stamped on the block of a Spencer indicates that it is a reproduction center fire conversion block that was made by S & S Firearms out of NY.
