Ed,Very interesting. I have seen barrels without inspectors stamps and also with an empty circle and not material stamp.I have also seen them with no frame size or gauge stamp.But I have never seen a set with no barrel material stamp at all.In fact I just recently had here a set of unfinished Parker barrels that were lent to me by Austin.They had the circle stamp and no barrel material stamped inside.This tells me that this stamp was applied fairly early on in the barrel making process.
