Hey guys,

I am working on better pictures of the marks. A few more proof marks have also appeared in other locations. Would I be wrong assuming that the three sets of swords and crowns, twon on the barrel and one on the reciever are all the same? if so then I can draw a complete picture using different parts of the three proofs.

Some very interesting info has come to light regarding the wood on this firearm.

My forend is 13 1/2 inches long, measured from the top end for end. Does someone know the measurements for a similar "sporting" type of forend?

LOt of things to post about this old rifle, some of it may make your hair catch on fire. WEll ok, maybe not catch like totally on fire, but it should make your eybrows raise.

Happy Christmas
