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

No name on the lever. But stamped Darne on top of breech.

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!
