Some have said they believe there are barrelsnwith English proof marks, thats how that started. I've tried to find the article that I thought referenced English proofs on some of these guns, but I've been unsuccessful. I have a sneaking suspicion that I may have glanced at an article about the 1878 DA revolver while looking for shotgun info and just have mixed that up in my head. Perhaps others here are doing the same as the 1878 DA revolver does in fact have English proofs, etc.

Life is too short for cheap guns, cheap women and cheap whiskey.
