Default Lug Stampings

Recently I have come across the letter "C" that has been stamped on the lug. One a D grade, the other a V. Any idea what or more likely "who" this might represent. Seems odd that the gauge designation has been replaced by this marking.

Dave, after a very closer look with a magnifying glass, you are correct the serial number is 133683. Great catch Thanks

I'm looking for the same information, since I own that V grade pictured.

Has anyone looked at the section on barrel stamps and markings in The Parker Story yet?

Even though a #1 frame is large for a 20 gauge, the 3-5 barrel weight marking is common for a normal weight 20 gauge.

They likely have a similar swamp that the 0 frame 28 has.

Would be nice to have a 1-Frame 20-gauge to picture between my 2-frame left (stamped barrel weight 4-5) --

2-Frame 20-ga left, 0-Frame 20-ga right 02.JPG

and 0-Frame right (stamped barrel weight 3).

I bet recoil on the 2 frame 20 is near nothing.
