Yes there is the mexican crest rolled on the top forward on the slide. I will attempt to get a photo and post later my picture skills leave a lot to be desired.

Here it is! Notice the slight tilt to the right, correct according to Book by D. Sheldon on page 117. also serial number part of 600 shipped to Mexico in 1908. The serial number is 308xx. And man are these fun to shoot!

I'm using 38 acp ammo. Older but in good clean condition. I had read enough on this forum to understand the importance of not using anything else. Fortunately I was able to obtain several boxes with a couple of the guns when purchased. I really just wanted to test them out so I only shot one mag each. Trying to conserve. They all were flawless. One Sporting, four military's and two pocket hammers. Accurate as far as I can aim!

All barrels in great condition. I don't believe any of these have been fired in many years. And the folks selling them were not the ones that used them.

Well the boxes say 38 automatic colt and the bullets are stamped 38 acp. Which lead me to believe they are 38 acp. I understand how the slide works and have inspected them also. Thanks for reinforcing the point, it is well taken.
