Raimey:
Thanks very much. That's some very interesting information.
I'm beginning to wonder if the BIW&Co stamp might be an importer's mark, although why one would stamp both barrels and the water table eludes me.
The .470s at Cabela's and Holland & Holland are both beautiful, but they're a little bit prouder of them than I could dream of being at this point in my life. There is not much call for a .470 in southeastern Pennsylvania, and my safari funds are currently devoted to the payment of college tuition for three boys.
