Two line and Three line RRB tang

[JCP]

I have 2 Remington no.# 5 rolling block rifles. They are identical except for the writing on the tang , one has 3 lines of writing and the other has 2.
They both have pat. dates of oct.22 1901. any info would be appreciated.

What is on the lines of writing? Is it the E Remington address, or ? Is it the same info on both guns, but spread over 3 lines on one of them?
 On earlier Rolling Blocks they used 3 different tang stamps. Two were two line, and one was three line. My guess would be that newer #5 actions used different rollstamps, in earlier or later runs of that model.

I can't read it right now , it has a tang sight covering it. I've just read articles where they called some 3 line and some 2 line and just wondered if one might be a lot older than the other. I do believe they both said the same thing, just stamped different. They are both no# 5's though, identical in every way except for the stamp.
