hey cotton,

This may help ya some. It pretty much splains what all the different letters are for. Also towards the bottom it mentions using "dots" instead of numerals by some makers.

definitely an unmarked lodge the give away is the break in the fire ring at 3,6,9 if you think of the handle as 12 , that and the tear drop handle

Just remember that those breaks in the rings were to let the flames go out the sides as grandma was cooking in the kitchen wood stove back in the day.
Then came electricity and out went the stove.

]Watch out Cotton cast iron pot collecting is additive
