A proof house is different than an American strapping an old gun to a tire and just seeing if it blows.....I'm sure some vintage guns fail proof and some they refuse to proof. Documented fact is some failed when they were sent for proof a 100 years ago.

When it comes to vintage guns damascus or fluid steel I don't think there's a blanket statement as to which are safe and which are unsafe.
