I have a 20 ga Sterlingworth Circa 1921.
The Sterlingworth strike on the receiver was struck
“Sterl ngworth” NOT. “Sterlingworth” !
It’s not a light strike, the “I” was never there!
Seems the “I “ was broken off the stamp on a
Previous strike ?
Maybe one of a kind ? Or I wonder how many were
Struck this way before quality control noticed it ?
It was struck this way on both sides of the frame.

I had a 16ga that looked just like yours, broken die I guess.

This one slipped through while they were changing the die, I guess...
