Well, if you will go here and look at the proof marks on you shotgun, it will tell you the year of proof

It shows the cursive smile

Thanks Norm. It's probably a 'pi' which would be 1957 but I'm giving up on lettres annales deciphering frown

Maybe a cursive lower case h? (1955) That would be my guess.

Like no pi I've seen & I've seen my fair share of them. What about r or n??? Mu is 1955.

Kind Regards,

The problem is getting what you see on the gun to match the chart. I don't see anything that's a real close match for what we see on those barrel flats.

Have you noticed that there doesn't seem to be a regular order from 1948 to 1961. 1949 is odd, also 52,53 and 61. It appears that they skipped letters that could be mistaken for regular lower case script. I am sure I have seen the mark above on a Belgian gun I have owned. To confuse things further, what do you think this is?

My guess is an odd Delta.
