    You think so :D?

    But why do you think there is a inscribed box/square around it which you never see at other examples ::book::

    What we can say is that all three examples are very close in serial number and that they all seem to have import marks on their balance cocks ( I think. It's hard to read the letters).

    If they are import marks - the squares may have something to do with the customs process, though that's a wild guess.

    The hand inscribed wording has something to do with the import process but only #1 and 3 have that. Curious about the serial of #2
