My 425 in .32 Rem, #4837, does NOT say "soft point" on the barrel. I've sent an email to the seller and hope he will respond with the serial number, but Stevens might have made up a group of the barrels and marked the early ones with the soft point marking, then fitted them to the receivers without regard to the serial number. So #2628 is not marked "soft point" and #3056 is.

How many angels fit on the head of a pin?
