Howard,

I'm sure that you will get several posts in reply to your question. I have
never known Buffet to place a serial number on a barrel. At least not in the
recently.

Buffet does stamp the barrel and bell with the type of model it was fitted
to and the key it is in.

For ex: R13 B; R13 A; RC B: RC A: Fes B; Fes A, and so on. Greenlines also
have a small green dot below this stamp.

Are you sure it has a serial number and not this other stamp.
