![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/FOJkO3b.png) There are numbers stamped on the inside face of the ejectors. Almost impossible to read but I'm fairly certain they are not the serial number. Any ideas?

Not the serial number.
Any ideas what the number might refer to?

I just had a close look at my M21 12 ga Tournament grade made in 1934. It has a two digit number behind each extractor that does not relate to the serial number. Nor does it correspond to the part number.
My guess is that it is a number used during assembly to avoid mixing parts of one gun with another one.

Thus far I've heard two plausible explanations.
1) Left and right extractors were produced as a set, and numbered so, then thrown in a bin well before they were fitted to a barrel yet now (then) existed as a set.
2) Left and right extractors were fitted to a barrel and assigned the same production number as say the barrel before the barrel was fitted and then serialized to a specific receiver.
