Is this a known font?

There is really no possible way to tell what order etc the numbers are to be read... Take a look in the stickys, we have it listed as ?7 and an explanation why.

  Ah, good call. Are there actual pictured examples of the /?7\, both with and without the broken line on the bottom of the triangle? In the Survey stats collected so far, was this particular /\ arsenal imported by a single or multiple American importer/s?

  BTW, congrats on the updated and vastly improved Arsenal Stamp Sticky!

I dont think we have but a few pics...  May have to change the arsenal drawing..  Dunno, but I hate doing that if its simply a broken chunk.

We've got zero entries into the survey of ?7 guns, that was one of the reasons my search for arsenal stamps was so depressing.  My pathetic compilation of 2 examples have come from GunBroker auctions.  The third known example with S/N 2400333x is the one that padams8888 just posted.   Pretty small sample size to try and draw any conclusions from unfortunately.

The one 2400286x gun I show above is a CAI St Alb VT import stamped on the left side of the receiver if that helps though. 

I personally think this is an example of a broken stamp...the other ?6, ?8, and ?9s differ by the missing chunk and the central number.  I would assume they were intended to be identical save the center number.

Take these ?6 examples only 73 guns apart:

Tnats exactly what I'm talkin about!   Nice example RM!

Yup...   These little chunks DO break off and even occur on /26\ guns.

Maybe CAI (Century Arms International) did this before they shipped it to a supplier. I seen the CAI stamped on the pictures above. And the battle zero on the rear sight looks really strange....

[running-man]

CAI did what to the gun?  I'm not following you.

[AK47MAN]

The rear sight markings are not like they should be...From what I seen...

[Greasemonkey]

Very unlikely Century did it, they have enough problems doing import stamps, much less stamping a tiny rear sight blade.

[Loose}{Cannon]

Yeah...  These numbers are not just painted. They are stamped and then paint filled.
