I can verify that there are no identifying labels on the steerer tube. So I suppose the lack of ID is just part of the Davidson mystique.
That describes my paint condition exactly! The pearl white is still so very pretty, though. My Impulse is a basic gloss white. The seat stay cap detailing and grey paint fill is a favorite design element.

Thank you for confirming the lack of labeling or stamping on the steerer. Mystique indeed!
