It is indeed wonderful how many cartridges that are no longer commercially loaded can be brought back into use thanks to the internet and a little expertise.
Sorry they aren't displaying properly and thanks for finding a workaround.
Yes. I wish more photo sets on dealers' sites and elsewhere would include good shots of the proof marks. (I know mine could be better, but at least it shows most of the the essentials.)

That's very interesting (Wikipedia suggests production ceased in the "late 1960s"). I had previously perceived the Lefaucheux lever as a relatively short-lived, mid-nineteenth-century design, but that was evidently the product of an insular British perspective!

I have a hammer Husqvarna 17C Lefaucheux Cape in 16 ga and 9.3x57R (360) that some lists show being made up until 1942. (But I'm sure a lot get sold as pre 1898 on appearance and lack of any published dated serial list or dated proof marks.)
