That Horsley is a bit odd. The Proof Exeption certificate is dated 1988 but the proof marks are dated 1999. The proof marks are for London re-proof; now where are the old marks? Looks like a new set of barrels were made for the gun and it was re-proofed. If new barrels were made for it by anyone other than the person entitled to be called the 'maker' then it should say 'new barrels by' on the rib. The person who holds the Horsley name is W.Richards of Liverpool. Nice gun and worth around the 'buy now' price if a shooter. I would expect to pay around that here in the U.K. Lagopus.....
