No, the bottom of the barrel is clean as a whistle. No marks or stamps , nada. What I meant was, the serial number is correct, but I don’t know about the first year. They started at 1,000.
Maybe it’s a replacement barrel, I had three of them for my first one.
Well, the SN is a first year, 1954 according to proofhouse.
