RLI
Your gun was made in 1950.12000 through 12999. 1951 started at 121000
the 701 and 702 models started in 1951.
proofed for 1 1/4 oz is a surprise .

I have a 700 in 16 gauge made in 1957 practically unused.

good shooting

Thanks for the your research on the W&S and yes it was a surprise to see it proofed at 1 1/4oz , I thought it might be early 1960's .
