Any thoughts as to what the "13" might mean?

Eric, the process of finishing the barrels, after soldering, is called 'striking'. It involves cleaning up excess solder, and generally file finishing the barrels. The stamped weight reflects the weight before finishing, and can be nearly the same when finished, or up to a few ounces less.
