Engraved Model 29-2

Here are pictures of my engraved M-29-2. From reading the Nahas/Supica book, I assume the RS marking on the right grip frame is for Refinished Standard, but I cannot find a good reference to the "E in a circle" on that same side. Any help will be appreciated.

I know very little about the stamps, but I do know that I like your Magnum. Very nice. Thanks for sharing,

Refinish stamps are found on the left side of the grip frame inside of a rectangle. There will be a date code also that is shown in the picture 5 73 for May 1973 . This refinish was for bright blue that is shown as R-Bi.The letters on the right side of your gun are fitters and inspector stamps.
I don't think your 29-2 was done by S&W. They would put a smaller logo on the left side. The only way to know for sure is to letter the gun.

I added a picture of the left side grip frame in original post

They also look like fitters and inspectors stamps. I also saw your post on the Colt forum.
