I have a question about a Kasuga, Tokyo SxS I picked up a few years ago. I can't find much information about the maker or the proof marks. It appears to be a quality built shotgun.

12 Gauge
Chokes IC and Mod
Weight Six pounds, 8 ounces
27" Barrels
Pistol Grip
3" Chamber by measurement
Manual Safety
No butt plate
Hand engraved with setter on one side and pheasants on the other.
1/2" Sling swivels

The water table is marked "STEEL" and "STEEL", one for each barrel.
The underside of the barrels are marked "STEEL" and "CHOKE" one for each barrel.

Do these proof marks indicate the shotgun can safely handle steel shot?
