Hi Raimey,

Are you thinking that the proof I labeled as #6 might be the "crossed guns" proof, and that it might indicate Linder as being involved in it's manufacture? I can see how it resembles the shape, but it is much thinner. I cropped it from a better picture and adjusted the contrast/gamma for this photo:



Also, can you tell me the significance of the proof (#9) that you pointed out?

My camera is in the shop having dropped it, but I'll carefully remove the side panels once I get it back and see if there is a bore stamp or any other markings underneath.

Thanks again for your help.
