Amen to the Galazan gauge, that's what you need for quick accuracy.
Incidentally, Monty, when you started rattling off prices in which you'd buy or sell guns and you lacked a proper gauge, I was thinking you were destined to be burned or burn someone else (no malice intended). It sucks to drop $1000 on tools but before I ever bought a vintage gun (and especially before I sold one I didn't want any longer) I made sure I had all my tools.
Buy:
A skeets universal bore gauge $200
A galazan wall gauge $550
A full turnscrew set $200
A chamber gauge $35
Every time I get a gun I blueprint every inch of the barrels and determine whether it is in proof and whether it as been reproofed. It tells volumes on the life of the gun.
