<p>[QUOTE="BRandM, post: 1497530, member: 22729"]Brunk doesn't list this one Brian. I also have a copy of his 2006 draft which also doesn't list it. The only way to be sure this is the mark of the gunsmith is to find an example of his on one of his weapons. Honestly, the stamp looks a little big to me to be a gunsmith stamp but that doesn't mean it's not. The date is interesting because gunmakers often used dates to indicate model years. If someone could tie a "Model 1808" (if one exists) weapon to Kendall it would make it more likely that the stamp is his.</p><p><br /></p><p>As far as the date and condition of the coin goes, it's not of great importance to a counterstamp collector. Not to say that a nicer coin isn't more desireable, it is. The counterstamp itself grades out pretty good, so the coins poor condition doesn't bother me. I can look into Kendall a bit if you want me to Brian. I'll be away for a few days but will get back to you next week. Also, let me know if your friend has an interest in selling it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Bruce[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
