Matt, I am not 100% certain when it stopped, but that shield with PB was stamped on all early barrels regardless of steel type. The Parker made barrels I believe are laminated only and have a "P" stamp and are a different pattern of laminated steel and used from 1877-1880 on lifters.
Those are nice barrels on that gun. That was a really good find.
