Randall and James, the gun is so original I took the 2 5/8 marks for chamber as gospel. They measure precisely 2 3/4.
Markings on the flats from the breech are AF under crown in circle, crown and circle enclosing ELG, 12C inside the diamond, what appears to be arrow pointing toward muzzle, two fancy capital letters appear to be E and L, a star over S, Siemens Martin Steel, and a tiny JV with underscore (maybe the inspector).
Looking more closely on the barrels in front of the numbers above (they're as sharp as from the factory) are definitely stamped wavy lines like gulls flying in a steep turn, the largest 1/8-inch long. Maybe the markings closest to them are what I've got, re-choked barrels, eh?
I like the gun.
