Good eye Jack. I was trying to figure out that odd mark myself. Also, does anyone have any thoughts about the "FBM" mark on the frame rail and the odd cutout on the top front of the sideplate? I have a really wild guess. The emblem on the grip looks fairly crude and I think it might be laser cut. There is a paintball gun manufacturing outfit in Pennsylvania, right next door to Maryland, called Fireball Mountain. Their logo is a stylized FBM (not like on this gun) and they do custom laser engraving and anodizing. I suspect this gun was customized by a former owner, possibly by Fireball Mountain.
