Thanks to you all for you help. After gunman's post, I broke it down and went over it all again. In general, nothing stands out to my untrained eye.

The action flat contains one mark - the crown over the BV which matched the barrel flat; no other marks are on the action flat.

On the barrel flats, only thing I didn't describe on the original post was that the word CHOKE is listed on the left side.

The only other mark that seems not to match the scroll work on the sides is on the top of the strap between the barrels. Less than 2 inches from the action end are parrallel lines. In total, this is less than one half inch in length and less than third in in width. Between the lines, appears several linked circles are present. I've added a photo of this in the link provided that hopefully aids in my description.

Thanks again
