Traditions barrel stamp

Just got a Traditions Kentucky kit. Hope to paint some stripes on the stock, add a few old brass tacks & maybe rawhide, turn it into a Faux Leman Indian rifle.

But does anyone here really know what this barrel mark means? Yeah, it looks like a proof mark but I kinda doubt that it is. Might it just be something their Marketing People had stamped on to impress customers?

That was answered in your other post a couple of hours before you posted this one.

Hawg thank you, Oh Thank You

I have been looking for a barrel that meets my nit-picking Metallurgical conservative views. Think this, plus some metallography I did on a CVA barrel in the '80's, plus this Torture video

says I got it.

CIP for "Commission internationale permanente" is an international organization such as SAAMI. It rules firearms proofs and CIP is its proofmark.

PN is for PĆ³lvora Negra in spanish or Pulvo Nero in italian, meaning black powder.

Then, both proofmarks mean that this barrel is tested and approved for black powder use under CIP rules.
