Is that the only proof mark on it? It looks like a British crown and the nearest thing I can find is a Birmingham Black Powder proof for shotguns, 1868-1925. Birmingham Company Proof Birmingham1813-1904View.jpg Last edited by wunhunglo; 04-03-2008 at 10:33 AM. |

try these guys, there's a good slide on the numbers etc. http://www.europarl.europa.eu/hearin..._slides_en.pdf I think you're gonna have to spend some time surfin! What calibres is it? After looking hard, I think it might be a Belgian crown? or maybe one proof mark stamped on top of another?? Last edited by wunhunglo; 04-03-2008 at 12:00 PM. |
