    Bill Large barrel Zouave - odd barrel marking

    Curious if anyone here might recognize what the odd 15EO marking might signify. Marked on a Zouave with a custom Bill Large barrel.

    I believe that might be Ed Occi, 15th CVI. He and his brother are long time (50 plus year) members of the N-SSA.

    That's as good a guess as any! If anyone can contact Ed, why not show him the photo and ask him if it is his mark?

    Yes, if anyone has his contact information and doesn't mind reaching out to ask him, I'd be very grateful.

    Just spoke to Ed. He says it is his marking. BUT he says he still has the gun. Hasn't shot it in 10 years.

    Someone had swiped Ed's gun and left a counterfeit in its place! The plot thickens.........

    Can someone please point him to this thread, or save and forward the photos to him? I bought the rifle in New Bern, NC a few months ago.
