What are the proofmarks and what period was your gun made. Is it a hammer or hammerless gun?

John, I finally found some of the discussion you mention. Very interesting about the Greener dodging. Your gun was a fine gun with lots of good chiseling and decoration. I have never seen one like it. On this one, I can only be an interested bystander to the possible intrigue. Daryl
