I have a 16 gauge 165xxx serial # (made in 1913) my question is as I look at markings on the flats it has K1 for the frame size and the weight is stamped
3 6

Then there is a V with a circle around it on the flats also, does that stand for vulcan steel in the barrels? the top of the rib is so marked.

It also has J.G in a circle on the flats is that the initials of who proofed the barrels?

Thanks, just trying to soak up as much info as I can on these shotguns
