Thanks Gents!
Oldfarmer - The scrolled BP over crown is present, just forward of the barrel flats.
George - Rib is inscribed with 430 Bland (same as label).
Balistix999 - this gun is plain compared to yours, I will get additional pics up for you.
All - not contemplating a refinish of case, but contemplating adding a pad & removing small baize covered block at receiver.
Gil - the left barrel is marked 19 (& choke) right marked 20 (no choke).
Roy - thanks for the additional insight (I had forgotten about Mr. Troth)
I will try to follow up on the East Indian angle.
Thanks
