Cocking indicators? - Yes, AKA 'Hammers'
Gas vents? - No. The holes are in the traverse pin—the “axle” that passes horizontally through the fences and the lifter lever - and upon which the lifter pivots. The holes are
for a drift to drive out the traverse pin with out marring the pin.
Load indicators - Powell's patent No.1055 of 1869 was for a firing pin retraction system. In most cases, the firing pins had white metal inlayed into the top surface that
noted "loaded," if a cartridge was in the chamber.

It must be a pleasure to hunt and shoot clays with it! Has cocking indicators, right? Hammers will indicate being cocked, but the firing pins were originally gold inlaid showing “loaded” when the shells keep the firing pins pushed back in the receiver… ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/SNHdmjsg/IMG-2323.jpg)

Thanks! Beautiful firing pings engraves. I thought that when the shotgun was closed with the cartridges in it, you could see that it was loaded because two indicators came out of the holes and were pushed by the nocks of the cartridges. Something similar to my german gun but with a different system. ![[Linked Image from i.ibb.co]](https://i.ibb.co/J3sknYg/IMG-20220503-195001.jpg)

I went for a walk in the woods today. I managed to chase up five Ruffed grouse and got one. It was a fine day walking my vintage British shotgun through the autumn colours. Getting a Ruffed grouse was the cherry on top.  ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/YWCX1Ag.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](http://i.imgur.com/Y29PvMv.jpg) ___________ TC

The shotgun serial number makes the manufacture date to 1952. It has a proof date mark for 1953 with original 2 1/2 inch chambers, then reproofed in 1995 for 2 3/4 inch chambers. It’s a very fine British shotgun, still in high condition. Thanks. ________________ TC

Outstanding example of a 702. I have a 700 in about the same condition, great guns.

What are the differences between a 700 and a 702? That is an extremely nice gun indeed.
