WC, Brown, I think y'all are somewhat mislead. The fad of proofing each tube passed when confidence was found in the integrity of the steel. I agree it is an in the final state stamp but when you consider the steel type, Acier Diamant a trademark of L-C, I say it was purchased in the white from L-C and either the Liege marks not applied or worked off. I will admit that it is possible for an inland in the final state proof is possibly, but if more fits importing sporting weapons in the white and going for the full Monte. Show me a St. Etienne concern that had protection for the term Acier Diamant?

Kind Regards,

Raimey
