Sounds Germanic.  There is no Deustal in listed in "American Gunsmiths"...

From my VERY limited German... A reference to the composition of the barrel steel. I'd suspect perhaps mandrel-formed using a band of iron and one of steel.

It could be an abreviation of the words DeutscheStahl or German steel that may have been used a a mark of quality. I know that German business letterheads use abreviations and one that comes to mind is GMBH which is a bit easier than <GesellschaftMitBeshrankterHaftung>or a corporation of limited liabilities.There are others but not now.
