I have an H&R model 622 in .22cal . I realize this gun has very low value but it still works good, other than some surface rust. Witch brings me to my mystery. Since spring still has not come I figured I would do some gun cleaning today cleaned a few guns, and thought I should clean up that old h&r. I actually found this gun in my basement when I moved into my house. That’s been 10 yrs ago. I pulled the grips off and was kind of checking the gun out when I noticed some engravings in the steal under the grip. Ok I know people etch their initials names into guns all the time. But this seams to be more than initials. Heck maybe someone will tell me this is done at the factory. Although this is done with some sort of electric etcher. So I doubt its factory. Here is what I found
-J-62612 …. my thoughts no clue, but it is not associated with model or serial number in any way.
-DWA ….. I would assume initials
-1/15/77 ….. Ya no brainer a date
But this the 1 that’s got me thinking
-KCPD
My first thoughts were Kendaville police department mind you I don’t live fare from their. But that would have to be Kendaville city police department. But I have never heard that town referred to as kendaville city.
But what this does stand for is
Kansas City Police department??
Any thoughts or conspiracies please post. Or maybe some idiot just etched random stuff in a gun
