I know I'm inviting argument, since others have written in their books that star-gauged Krag barrels were not marked, only issued with their cards.  That makes no sense as guys would be selling service grade barrels with the cards and keeping their star-gauged barrels for themselves.  I have one barrel with a star on it, I have seen others.  The one I have is very tight for a Krag barrel, and I say that has something to do with the mark.  Whether or not that is true for your mark, I can't say.  This sounds like a job for 5MF to figure out!  Hey 5, I got a more folksy avatar for you!  Feel free to use it if you like.
