Bob - Thank you & Griffen & Howe. That information verifies what I have thought the gun to be. Again, however, I ask the question of how BP only proofs affect value of gun? With peoples inclination to use vintage guns on SC's, etc my better judgement suggests a deduction in value. Further, were I ever to sell gun, I would feel compelled to disclose the BP proofing. On the other hand it is a nice old gun I'd really like to own & hunt. I just don't want to invest a significant sum in something I have heard might warrant a 50% discount.
