What does the star on the lug of a bond smp mean

 

Isn’t that a Portugal import stamp?

 

I don't know it is on the lug opposite the serial number

 

I think it means it was one of a batch selected for quality checking.
Portuguese import stamp was usually on the outside of the case somewhere, usually top left lug from what I've seen.

 

I once owned a SMP300 Bond with a white dial early 2000's that had the star on the underside of the lug. After a bit of googling I came up with the same answer.

 

Much appreciated
