R with crown is a proof mark for a rifled barrel, dont know what X means



As it is a Manufrance gun, the "X" may be the St.Etienne proofmark, actually depicting 2 crossed palm leaves. If so, the crown/R mark stands for a repair or reproof after alterations. Now there is a problem: The exact shape of that crown stands for either blackpowder or smokeless proof! A photo of these marks would be of help in identifying the proof.
