I said I'm not a collector - didn't mean I was without some knowledge of gun safety, having hunted with gun and bow for over 55 years and worked as a freelance outdoor writer. Anyways, I don't mean to be unappreciative of your concerns, so thanks.
Rest assured, I do not intend to fire the gun under any circumstances even if it were deemed safe to do so. The 3 inch shell was just used as a reference.

There are two small proof marks (not sure this is correct term) on the side of each barrel toward the rear. Also, the number 106 or 108 is stamped just below the barrels when the gun is broken down.
