Acceptance mark on barrel?

Thanks Frank, that's good information.
I notice there is a spot of pitting where the acceptance mark would most likely be. This particular gun was re-finished, so if it were a weak stamping, then perhaps it was buffed in that area and is all but gone. The E/S on the right side of the barrel is very strong as are the acceptance marks on the receiver and the serial no. on the barrel and barrel measurements are very strong as well. Maybe they didn't always get put on the barrel and maybe if it were there it was cleaned off. Guess I'll never know.
I notice on my S-42, that the acceptance mark is so light that it is very hard to see, of course the gun is not pristine by any stretch of the imagination, but all the other marks are pretty good.
I do appreciate everyone's replies, as always it's darn good information. Thanks again, all. barr
