Dave...YES, there are British proof marks on the bottom of the barrel, good catch! This stuff could be enamel, but normal Ace Hdwre paint stripper wouldn't touch it. My undercover assistant (another Forum member) has a line on something called Greensolv 273c used in the aircraft industry and is aimed at epoxy type stripping. We are on a hunt locally at auto paint stores for it or something similar. We are also considering trying to burn it off with a propane torch holding the temperature in the 400 F range. Steve
