David, the "D" designates Damascus, "J.G." is Jim Geary a prominent barrel-fitter/striker, "K" is for Charles A. King, Gun Works Superintendant and thought to be final inspector. {Odd that the mark for Charles A. King "K" would appear on a 1913 gun when he was succeeded by his son Walter King "WK" in 1908 but the barrels had likely been fitted to the frame during Charles King's tenure and were marked so.} I can't read the stamp over the "D" nor can I read the stamp to the right of J.G..
