Hello all,
I know this is a German Gun Collectors Forum, but with all the knowledgeable people out there maybe someone can explain the meaning of the "STARS" stamped over the chambers of this Scottish Double rifle. The double rifle is an 1870's James Macnaughton in 577-500 No.2 caliber.

The "STARS" are located almost exactly at the center of each chamber. They appear to have been stamped "after" the last refinishing / re-blackening based on the raised edges. Your opinions would be most welcome.
