No BUG proofs?

I'm looking at a 1900 American Eagle for sale that I know has been refinished....it appears to be all matching, but the underside of the barrel is only marked with the serial #....is this a sure sign the barrel is not original?

Nukem, 1900 AE's came into this country with or without BUG proofs. It's not unusual to have no proof marks at all. I doubt if there was any rhyme or reason to whether the marks were on them or not.

Herb, I am sure there was a rhyme an reason; we just don't know it yet....

All the Old Model American Eagles in the commercial database which have the pertinent detail reported are without proofs.
