Since the mark is also on the lug support, it is probably a Meriden finisher or inspector mark, and not that of the tube maker. The marks of Lucient Clement, Heuse-Riga Fils, and Henri Pieper have been found on Meriden Fire Arms damascus barrels. Looky here. Same mark and HRF on another chain tubeset https://sites.google.com/a/damascusknowledge.com/www/home
