Standard right-side markings on an Inglis No. 2 pistol -
Most of the stamped marks on the right side of the slide and frame will be more or less incomplete, usually .....
The small C/Broadarrow (which is supposed to be a Canadian government acceptance/ownership mark) was placed on the right side of the frame on all Inglis pistols at time of manufacture, for some reason.
The crossed pennants mark is the "Dominion of Canada Proof" mark, and the initials in the three lower quadrants are 'D' (left), 'C'' (right), and 'P' (bottom) .... the table Timberlord linked to has it wrong. as 'D', 'P' and 'C' ....
Standard markings on left side of slide of Inglis No. 2 pistol -
All of the above mentioned stamped markings on the right side, as well as the roll-impressed markings on the left side of the slide of the slide, were appliedd during the manufacturing process, and got covered by the parkerizing finish.
The crossed pennants mark electropenciled on the barrel is a simplified version to the Dominion of Canada Proof mark.
Inglis serial numbers were not applied until the pistol was assembled and completed, including the finish on slide and frame. The numbers were engraved in the three locations, one above the other, using a pantograph-type machine - thus the frame and slide serial numbers will be "in the white" (i.e. engraved through the finish into raw steel, as seen above) on a pistol which hasn't been refinished. Here is a photo of an Inglis worker engraving the serial numbers on a pistol -
It is not common to see an Inglis pistol with any other C/Broadarrow mark besides the small one applied on the right side of the frame during manufacture. However, my No. 1 (i.e. CH-numbered) pistol is one of the relatively early-production pistols of that pattern which were diverted into Canadian military service (when it proved impossible to get the Chinese-contract pistols delivered to China past the Japanese blockade) and it was accordingly marked with a somewhat larger C/Broadarrow stamp on the left side of the slide at the rear -
