I'm looking at an old cape gun and I have a question about the markings on the bottom of the barrels. On the rifle barrel it looks like "7594.04." and then on down the barrel "9.2". On the bottom of the shotgun barrel are some words that I can't make out and after them is "15.8". In between the barrels just after where the forearm attaches to the barrel is "6263.03.15.7.7.5". I'm not sure what any of this means but you can probably make sense of it.
Any ideas gentlemen?
Thanks AkMike

Austrian proof 1903/1904, 16g shotgun barrel and 9.3mm rifle barrel (probably 9.3x72R)

Regards,
Jani

Would this be a smokless and jacketed proofed barrel? Or the black/lead one?
Thanks

Mine was proofed in 1917 blackpowder only but I use factory 16/65 shells and rifle ammo by RWS or SB. Smokeless proof would be NPF.
