Some think that little 6 on the lug is an inspectors mark, and others think it may indicate the gun was targetted with #6 shot instead of the normal #8s. It is still a 2-frame. At least those are the answers I've gotten. My Father's old 1902-vintage, 2-frame, 30-inch, 12-gauge, VH-Grade, waterfowl gun, has the little 6 on the lug next to the 2. It also has the Kf mark of Charles King on the barrel flat and a 4 3 weight mark.
I have an 1889-vintage, 2-frame, 12-gauge, GH-Grade, that weighs a fraction of an ounce over nine pounds and the weight mark on those barrels is 5 8. Those barrels are very straight with very little "swamp." Both, 2-frame, 12-gauge guns.
