Gentlemen, thanks for the primer on posting pics. I'll have to wait till I get home from a business trip on Friday to post the pics since their on my desktop at home.

Regarding the markings, I have a 16 over a C inside a diamond, I assumed this meant it was a 16 GA--not true? The only other numbers are a 592 stamped on each barrel as I recall. No other names, just "Chevalier" on one barrel and "a Paris" on the other.
