Lynn, I don't believe so. Bill, sometimes a subect gets sidelined. I'm sure no one meant any disrespect to Lynn. Paul

Sorry, I'm guilty too of not staying the course of the original topic.

Most gunsmiths and restoration shops do not mark a client's gun with an identification stamp or etching. That being said, I know that a very few who buy guns to re-sell that need restoration will do so. One house that comes to mind is DTR (Doug Turnbull Restorations) but it is marked in a somewhat obscure place.
