I won an auction on a cool little Ruger Bearcat that I'd like some help with figuring out. The serial number puts it at 1972 production, and I enhanced some pictures of the proof/possible engraver marks.
The eagle with the N underneath is of course the "nitro" proof, while the cross hatched shield is for the Munich proof house. The other shield as well as this odd double w/f mark are lost on me.
The engraving is obviously not master quality, but I figure the crowd here probably has some of the most well versed people in German guns. Anyone know what these two reference?
