Todd: 1. Royal steel was used on the lowest grade (F) hammer gun. 'F' did indicate a 'Field' grade hammerless gun post-1913. 2. Wm. Read & Sons, Boston, MA was a major Smith distributor, and 'WR' has been found stamped on some guns. If you could post ultra close up pics of the marks on the brls we might be able to provide more answers.
