Thanks Norm, that was my concern also. I didn't know if it was normal to not have serial numbers and proofs on the barrels, I only have one other Commercial and it does have the SN and proof on the barrel but if I'm not mistaken I think I read somewhere that some commercials were put together with left over parts and not stamped, does this sound correct?
