Drew;

Who do you think stamped the barrels 2 5/8? Was it stamped by the proofing authorities or was it stamped after proof by others?

KInd regards;

Very likely the maker. I've only seen chamber length in 'American' on guns obviously intended for export to U.S. dealers, and the proof house would have used mm.
As you know 'choke' in English is 'choke de canon de fusil' in French. An 'express' rifle is 'fusil express'.

That is my take on the stamping in "American" chamber length in inches as well. It is counter to logic that in a country where the metric measuring system is the standard that the proof "house" would stamp anything in inches.
