It's in my memory that Turnbull will mark his restorations with a "DT" in an inconspicuous place unless you pay not to have it done. If I am wrong then I apologize but I am fairly certain I read it on a BBS in the last 10 years or called his shop and was told this.

For along,long time there was no marking of any kind on any restoration.
Then he started offering a small % discount to the customer that 'allowed' the DT marking stamped inconspicuously.
Parkers were by far the biggest restoration job then and the mark was placed down in the dolls head cut in the frame on them.
Shockingly most customers never wanted any such marking on their gun no matter the mfg'r..
The Parker placement of the mark makes for easy removal anyway.

Upgrades done on speculation, presented and sold as such were sometimes prominently marked w/the stamping.

I don't know what they do there now.

Here is another source. I had lost this link, but it turned up on the ASSRA forum today.
