The picture you posted of the barrel inscription appears to be entirely without the 'zigzag' rib matting. It also appears the (minimal) engraving on the receiver and fore end is missing. Perhaps this was removed when it was re-blued.
The pattern on the rib is there but well worn... Yes, I agree that if there was engraving on the receiver and fore end it is now lost to history.
