I did a Google search for Ironmongers, and found none that fit L.E.P. https://sites.google.com/a/damascusknowledge.com/www/home

Here's another H grade, a 20 ga. gun with fluid steel barrels that has a diamond shaped stamp near the serial number which I have never seen either. Voting for anti-gun Democrats is dumber than giving treats to a dog that shits on a Persian Rug
