The barrels are clearly Damascus and the letter stamped in that location is in reference to the barrel steel. An L would be for Laminated Steel barrels so it shouldn’t be an L but ought to be a D.
Unless I’m not seeing correctly, it looks like other stamps have been ground out with a very small grinding wheel…. Please tell me I’m wrong…
I have a 4-digit 10-gauge D Lifter with Damascus barrels that I’ll get out of the safe and compare and post pictures here.
