    Got this awhile ago and just found it while cleaning out a bunch of stuff. The keyhole is raised and has c mark roll marks.

    Any info as to worth and maker.

    Thanks. Doc.

    The Keyhole is the forge mark from Cerro Forge in Weyer's Cave, VA. A forge mark denotes where the raw forging was produced
    prior to finished machining.
    Not sure about the "C". It almost looks hand stamped.
    Probably worth anywhere between 75.00 and 150.00, depending on how desperate the buyer is.

    Here is a picture of a Colt 9mm upper with the keyhole forge mark and the stamped C. Did Colt ever make a dedicated 22LR upper?
