Daryl, you are correct if refering to the stamping on the water table but when identifying a particular gun as was originally done by Parker Bros. the barrel steel was identified along with the grade, hence, D3.

Re: the "C"; Some of the stampings on the barrel flats are still not understood - the "C" is one of those. We could speculate but that's all is would be, speculation, as there is nobody laft to verify it.

Thanks for the kind words Mark, but I'm not always correct...
I am, after all, still a student.
