The casting mark, that number on the side of the turret. Seems very prominent, more so than I see generally modeled. Is that typical? Do we understate the casting mark or is this one overstated?

This is typical for the foundry.

I can tell you which one if I pull out my references.

That would be more detail than I need, but it does answer my question, sort of. It depended on who did the casting as to how prominent the marks would be. Cool...

That would be more detail than I need...

Too late, it is a Union Steel Casting. They have a raised 'U' centered over a Keystone shape.
