Hammer gun with stars on the stock

[Jeremy Pinsly]

My local dealer has an 1891 gun with a single star on each side of the stock. Unfortunately I don't have a pic today (probably tomorrow). Any thoughts as to the possible meaning of the stars? The gun in question is a grade 0 standard 12 ga no-frills gun.

the meaning would be to the person that added them after market

If in the head of the stock, inletted to hide the pinning of the stock.

but he did say hammer gun

In a round about way I guess. Missed that part about grade 0. With the 1891 I was thinking hammerless.
