The stamped name is shallow/worn to the point its tough to read even with a flashlight. If it's worn, then the barrels have been reblued. As dirty as the rest of the gun is, it may just be filled with gunk! HA! I'll look for the Cockerill stamp when I get back over there. Wish I could get it open in the store.

At the risk of insulting your photographic sensibilities, here is a shot of the schnabel forend. wink



But you are right. My cell phone doesn't quite do what my normal cameras do... but if you buy it for me I'll photograph it more along these lines to make you feel better wink
