Barrel markings

[Scott Westerlund]

I recently bought a DHE 20 and have noticed a marking I cannot find an explanation for. I’m curious what the “I” stamped on the forward lug represents? I looked at my original Parker’s for comparison and also some research without any luck. I think it’s only on reproductions. Anyone have an idea? Thanks in advance.

I have the same question on <the one I'm looking at> DHE 28 Repro frame 00. LOL

Set 1 of a multible barrel set. You should also see a 1 on the forend under the S\N.

I had the same question when I read the thread on unset serial numbers and you mentioned the gun you owned.
