It's just a man's name. I went back through a bunch of my dad's old photos because he always wrote the names of the people photographed on the backs and the date. Found one dated September 1943 (a month after I was born) of him and another guy with the same last name as is on the medallion. Both were in uniform, so I'm guessing dad was taking a break from the war.The marking you ask about is just a proof or inspection marking. Both of the serial numbers are matching. At some time it was drilled and tapped for a Stith scope mount, evident by the holes on the left side of the receiver.
What does that plaque read on the forearm??
