Tom - Please note that some of the late (1946 -1950) LC Smiths did have the gauge roll-stamped on the barrel. I have an extra set of Field Grade barrels with the gauge roll-stamped on (I don't have them right now as they are currently being fitted as a second set of barrels). Please see page 81 of Jim's book. Looks like Ideal Grades could have the gauge stamped on also (page 77), maybe others? When I get the barrels/gun back I can post a picture. Not sure how rare it is, but my barrels are the only ones I can recall with the gauge stamp. Thanks, Bob
