And then there was also the stamp W.K. In an oval which, I don’t think it can be argued, must have indicated Walter Kink, who took over as superintendent of the gun plant in 1910 from his father Charles Alonzo King. Charles Kink’s stamp was K and the years during which Kf appeared on the left barrel flat will most likely identify which King it represented.
