Whitworth Steel barrels were typically marked in one or more of the following ways on Smith guns:
1. Hand engraved on the barrel rib or (later) top of the right barrel.

1921 Monogram



2. The manufacturers serial number for each tube stamped on the barrel flat.
3. A 'W' on the right barrel flat.
4. The trademark "sheaves of wheat" stamped on the bottom of each tube.



I don't know the time period for the different markings

And don't overlook the 1911 "Whitwroth" Monogram shocked Oops smile
