A question or two for those more knowledgeable than me (probably everyone here), I'm curious about some of the barrel markings. I think the "D" on the right barrel flat indicates Damascus steel and the "6" to the right is the barrel weight. Can anyone tell me what the "3" above the D and the "C" above the 6 mean? The 3 on the barrel lug is frame size I think and does the H indicate hammerless?

Thanks for any insight you may have.

Congrats...I love my short 10...it's a riot to shoot and plan to hunt sharptails in Idaho in the next couple of weeks with it.
