Sweet 16 is on the receiver which isn't pitted but is scratched and worn - its not blue
There were only 5 numerals, each fairly large, and they were on the underside of the receiver towards the fron ...

I saw an rough looking sweet 16 vent rib w 3 stars on barrel today. It had 5 numerals under the breech, they began w 100.
