Hello again.
Well, your opinion is much closer than mine, which was zero. LOL
I know what you mean about the spurios marks. They are usually detectable. But this looks like an obviuos "stamp". And your information makes complete sense. So I'll add this to the notes on the gun.

Thank you and Andreas for your information. A neat example of being able to utilize the knowledge on this Forum.
