Austin,

I would like to know your thoughts about the markings on the early Damascus barrels.
Several are marked C 12, C 10 or C 11, but the C looks a bit more like a left parenthesis ( than a C.

Any information about the meaning of these barrel marks would be greatly appreciated. I have given my idea above, but maybe someone has found some records or writings that give a clearer picture. Also, are these similar marks found on other very early guns by other makers?

Richard
