That's curious. Is there something else that it could be
stamped

Yep.
Virgin metal means it is steel with no recycled metal added.

As opposed to steels which contain recycled steel as well as
virgin

Virgin steel comes from downright, disgustingly ugly iron ore,
and
homely coal! ;-)


Yup , and virgin wool comes from the fastest lamb in the flock .
