A.J. Rudd, Norwich, UK. 20 gauge box lock. I am interested in how many times it has visited the two English Proof Houses. From my observation it was Proven in both London and Birmingham. What can the membership see?

Apologies, I'm not skilled enough to get the photos illustrated here.

i see two sets of marks....the first is london under 1904-25 rules - arm & sword over NP....nitro proof shot 7/8 oz.... 20 (bore size at 9") on each flat. several additional marks are not visible in your photo, but should be present.

second is b'ham under 1954-89 rules - decimal bore measurements....and 3TONS....crossed swords with dating codes. if you can discern the letters and number amongst the crossed swords, they will tell the reproving date.

i see remnants of choke stamp on left tube....crown R for reproof on each chamber....and at the rear edge of the left flat i think i see LP and a two digit number that would seem to indicate a possible third trip to london??

best regards,

tom
