David Dabaco is correct about the "CH" in the shield and it is the re-enforced smokeless proof for scattergun tubes at a pressure of 12.8k psi while the "BP" in a shield notes voluntary/optional smokeless proof at 12k psi. I wonder if it was re-proved? I also agree that it's ARANO and sometimes the "S.L." is for sociedad limitada but it is usually after the name and I think the term to be a 21st century one. The 4 stamps of the crossed "arrows"(3?) thru a "shield", or whatever, are interesting. Anyone have idea of the marks above "Made in Spain"?

Kind Regards,
