Good point Daryl. Scroll down to the bottom of both these albums for pics of 'WR', 'BD', 'EH', and a bunch of marks on steel barrels, including the as yet unkown 'W&R'



The 'WR' is an assumption on my part, which we may be able to confirm now that Dr Jim has the Hunter Arms records

Northup87 is correct that the ?5 letters to the left of the 'WR' are my question, and a mark not previously identified on Smith barrels.
