Because if they knowingly stamped it >>26<< on the underside & then apply a >>20<< stamp in the Rhombus? I guess an error of that magnitude could occur. But a >>20<< die shouldn't even be in his hand. Serbus, Raimey rse

The 26 in the Victorian marks refers to the bore size rather than a cartridge in the way that a .577/.450 Martini Henry would be 52. The bore now is larger than 26 and is in the 24 range so it was clearly skimmed out to clean it up prior to being nitro proofed.

The 28 is the designation of the intended cartridge( without saying whether the stamping was a change or a correction). Mike
