Re: No Serial # or proof marks on Barrel Flats?
I overlooked the fact that the barrels are reported as Damascus so I have to alter what is in the previous note and say: I don't know how Grade 3 Damascus barrels were marked although Houchins reports on page l76 that they were Chain Damascus if not Nitro Steel...and if replaced by Hunter Arms the "...replacement barrels can usually be identified by the words Hunter ARMS COMPANY, FULTON, N.Y. stamped on top of one of the barrels."
