Rick,
Nice snag on the NM two digit package, that box is sure an oddity!

Do you know if were there two versions of the Branding Iron, one with the hard "R" and one with the "SR" ?

Pretty cool, and the branding iron too!

The .30 Carbine has always been one of my favorites

You made me look at my branding iron. Mine is like the one pictured. I do not recall one with the SR center.

Nice .30 Carbine too! That box is the icing on the cake.
