I had my fusee engraved with London, JB and a proof mark with the crown and P in an oval. Not stamped, engraved and it looks beautiful and good! I just need to know a basic mark or two for a weapon of that time built in America in Virginia. Should I just engrave my name in it? It's a pecatonica kit with a straight .54 barrel and a Davis Yaeger Lock. But didn't many gunmakers make both the lock and barrel and the whole gun for that matter? Is that any better info?
