Lagopus, I did find the website you mention, but do not find an email address, just fax and paper mail. Do you know of an email so I could send clear pictures ?

By the way, I did find that makers could request special proofs, but those guns should be marked with a crown and an SP or LP from 1925 on. I did not find any statement saying 2 1/2" cases would be only proofed for 1 1/8 oz. in the 1930s, but the connotation was that that combination was "normal". I do know that today, when having a gun sleeved , or reproofed, 2 3/4" chambers are automatically proofed for 1 1/8 oz of shot.
