Marcas Registradas
For collectors, the 4 line rollmark indicates a definite post war gun.
The "Made In USA" mark appeared in May, 1922. Prior to that date, there were no markings placed on that area of the frame by the factory.

Very informative post, thank you. I kept hearing references to the "Marcas Registras" marking, but didn't grasp the significance or know that it was a distinguishing feature for post-war guns. Very nice info to know and simple to remember.
