Curious about "BP proof." You guys know this but might clarify what this is and when it started ended.

Here is a line about Zapatto Freres gun with a BP on the barrel we never identified; is this the BP referred to? http://www.doublegunshop.com/forums/ubbt...2760#Post442760



By the way I knew I'd seen that logo "BP" or whatever before. It's on the barrels of the French "Wonder" lock gun I posted to show that my plain Jane war trophy 12 bore was not alone. http://www.doublegunshop.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=449178 It looks like it's actually "JB" and that we've been looking at it upside down. I wonder if it is actually a symbol for barrel makerJean Breuil? (Not sure of this - the font looks identical but to contort the BP into a JB would require some doing - maybe having it stamped backwards).
