It lookslike a 4 made with a dull die.

I see the broken horizontal "cap" on the "J" and the crudeness of the "T" so a dull or broken 4 is a possibility. Who was "JL" and what would the 4 be indicative of I wonder?

I like Cyril's idea of crossed broken horse shoe nails stamped on the "stub twist" barrels.

I knew that mark looked familiar,just couldn't remember where I saw it, (Old age setting in I guess).
 Just happened to be oiling the barrels to my 1891 EH that I just finished rust blueing and there it was! Appears there was a damaged #4 stamping die floating around the Parker shop. Wonder how many more we could find like this and on what year guns?

Interesting photo, Robert. Thanks! From what I have been able to read in TPS, that would be a stamping for your barrel's 'un-struck' weight (4lb,12oz). Even poundage numbers (possible for my barrels) would only have one numeral stamped. According to TPS though, I thought the weight stamps started around 1877? As the grade listing for #5045 is T0 in the ID & Serialization tome, and it's appearance is somewhat plain, it sure didn't look to be a grade number.
