Parabola, thanks, that's very interesting. The gun weighs only 5 lbs 3 oz and may well have been listed under "Ladies' and Youths' Guns" although its 14 1/2 - inch length of pull suggests it may have been made for a grown man. It certainly is handy in woodcock habitat.
I will try to overcome my technological shortcomings and post photos of the proof marks.
