Overcoat Markings

[whaler]

Aloha all,

does anyone out there have any PDF or JPEGs of maker and inspector marks for federal foot overcoats? I am almost finished with the one I am building, and would like to dial it in with the proper markings.

Thanking you all in advance, I remain,
your servant,

I checked the two in our museum's collection, but neither of them are marked, except both are stenciled with the owner's name.
