    My Google-fu must be weak today because I can't find any sources to help with this...

    Any of you experts know what these marks mean? I know the photo isn't great, but it looks like a circle with a "B" inside on the barrel, and some other odd stamps just adjacent on the frame.

    I have to assume that these are import/export marks of some type. I'm thinking about buying this gun, but want to try and figure out what these markings mean first. The seller has no idea... Otherwise, the gun seems to be excellent for it's age..
