Chuck,
This excerpt from an article by Bill Harriman called "100% Proof". Don't remember where I got it from.
"It is also common for European guns to carry marks that indicate the degree of choke at their
muzzles. These are expressed by a series of small asterisks. The larger the number of
asterisks, the more open the choke is bored. Table five gives full details of this choke-marking
system. In the case of screw-in chokes, small notches on the edge of the choke represent the
asterisks.
