Hello casper50,

Thanks for your reply.

This rifle has an unusual feature that I've not seen before. (see pic) Stars stamped on the breech end of the barrels over the chambers.

Anyone know the meaning of those "stars" stamped over the chambers?

They are located almost exactly at the center of each chamber. They appear to have been stamped "after" the last refinishing / re-blackening based on the raised edges.
