I recently acquired a Springfield Model 67F Pump Shotgun. I was trying to find the year of manufacture and several threads that I read pointed me to your date code sight. While I know my gun is not a model 24, I thought maybe you could shed some light on a question. My gun does not have a serial #, so I know it was built between 1958 and 1968. According to your date code, the oval should have a number (sometimes two) and a letter in it. Mine, however has a oval on the left side of the barrel in front of the receiver, that is upside down, with what is clearly a SP and no number in it. There is another crudely stamp on top of the barrel that is either a 6 or a 9 in it and what is either a arrowhead or a ace of spades on the lower right side of the barrel in front of the receiver as well. My question is what does the SP mean. 1963 or 1965. I looked it over closely and the S is not a 5. A lot of the stuff I read suggests, as you did, that this code appears on everything Savage made up to 68. I'm curious If you can help.
