The "wedding band" is the band that separates the round/octagon section of the barrel and looks like a wedding band. I also believe the barrels were made in India, as no proof marks on first one and unidentifiable marks on the second, to mimic english proof marks. There were no proof houses in India. The barrels look crude, especially the second one.These were made and sold all the way up until the 20 century for the tourist trade. LK
