It? The Parker GH or the Fox CE?
If the Parker GH, I would venture to say I can't remember ever seeing a GH, regardless of year made - or even a G hammer gun - that didn't have the pre-struck weight stamp. I suppose there may have been one or two that "slipped between the cracks" but it was the standard practice to stamp the pre-struck weight almost from the earliest days.
