What do these mean?

Hoyt,

RS and RO don't ring a bell right now.

Circle-S is found on the left receiver of some Police Lugers, usually in front of the serial number stamped there. The meaning is obscure. Many--in fact, probably most--collectors assert this to be a Simson rework mark, but there is no documentation to support this.

There are many other encircled marks, signifying other meanings.
