Can you post a photo of the name, on the opening lever? Id love to see a clear shot of the proof marks on the barrel flats, as well, if you could.
Thanks in advance,
Ted

Just repaired a SLE splinter forend where the junction of the wood and forend iron were about .015 different. I made a batch of garnet shelllac and applied several coats until the finish height and metal were the same height. It took about 6 days of coating, sanding , slectively coating. Before it was right. The garnet shellac finish matched this medimum grade British gun. Be ready to spend a lot of time!
