Should have included photo off proof marks in original post; note the 12/C in a diamond, bore and choke as a fraction, no date code, chambers are marked on barrel 70/20.6. It has the normal lion over PV nitro proofs, plus a lion over ECm3, my info shows the EC mark but not the m3, anyone know what it means? I plan to take care of the stock problem , clean up the screw heads and have the barrels re-blacked. The action was originally case colored but it looks OK with honest wear, probably best to leave as is. Jim
