Do you know what the "plus" or "cross" sign markings are for? I have those on my 1938 G2 16ga NID..

They are the mark of Charles August, the Ithaca employee who proved the barrels. It appears from my observations that the practice started about the time they dropped the cocking indicators on the NIDs in the 459xxx range. Here are some other employee marks.
