Narrative:

I did exterior walk around at dfw in nighttime dark conditions. After finding aircraft in good condition, returned to cockpit, noticed aircraft needed oil servicing. I called the request in and got oil serviced. I made an uneventful flight to lubbock, texas. Then first officer did exterior post flight walk around. He found a scrape or gash (pin size) on left side of fuselage forward of static ports. I entered it in logbook. Lubbock maintenance called air carrier technician and sent facsimile of a diagram depicting blemish. Mechanic made entry with regards to technician's directions. Technician said it looked like damage from a lab service truck or maintenance stand, but was not a pilot induced blemish.
