Does anyone know - for sure - exactly what these marks on my Traditions Kentucky kit barrel mean?
Yeah, they look like they should be proof marks. But are they for real, has this barrel actually been proofed? Or might they be something added to help market these rifles. I googled Spanish proofs but could not find any clear contemporary information.
Yes, I am picky about how my barrels are made. I am a metallurgist, for some half-century + now. I'd like to turn this Traditions kit into a Faux Leman Indian rifle, with painted stripes, tacks & maybe rawhide, just to mess around with.
