Santiago,

Can you cut and paste Russ's response in this thread?

Since he is not a member here, i have pm'ed him to ask for permission. Hopefully will get his answer pretty soon.

If you haven't checked out the link provided by Santi above because you aren't members, but you're interested in the HJ and associated organisations, you will likely find the HJ forum well worth a look, and worth joining. You'll find Russ's theory on how this mark may have come about and his thoughts on the subject which I personally agree with.

I had my MZ/49 x-rayed today.

Regards
Russ
