Birmingham nitro proofs...
odd that stamps are not on barrel flats...
and to be safe, measure barrel walls in front of chambers...
if less than .090, seek professional advise...
is there a makers name stamped on top rib?

Does that say "vd wenachie, wa" on the lower rib (Vintage Doubles)?
1 1/8 Oz Nitro Proof, can't make out the Crossed Halbards to determine the date it went thru Birmingham proof.

Quite a few WR guns are marked on the barrels and not the flats. The gun is marked for 1 1/8 oz so it should be 2 1/2” chambers.

what the chambers were is unimportant...
what they are now and is the gun safe to shoot with field loads, that is the question...
keep it simple and keep it safe...
