Wow, great info!
Off the top of my head, I beleive that the proof is Crown BV, along with, IIRC, two other marks with the crown present.
It is marked 1 1/8, as well.
I'll post pictures this evening!
The dates being off as much as that, does not surprise me at all. Such is the hazard of relying on word of mouth to get sorted on what happened over such time.
At one point, before my time, my father was quite an avid bird hunter, making a pilgrimage of sorts, each year, out to Saskatchewan or Alberta to hunt ducks, and he had an Irish Setter that he used as his bird dog. By the time us kids were well enough established in the yard, the dog was getting old, and the time was taken up with all those things in life that get in the way of getting out.
