I think it would be odd place for an importer's mark, usually they are on the side or on the barrel, but it's certainly not impossible. But who would bother to grind off an import stamp on a such a worn gun?

Now that I look at it closely again, it actually looks like a repair. Like it was ground way down and then build up again with welding, but not refinished, just smoothed over and left bare. When I have some time I'll try to get a better close-up picture.
