Can anyone help me out with the proof marks and such on this J. Probin muzzle loader. I recognize the British proofs and that its proofed as an 11 gauge gun but thats about all Im aware of. I dont have a clue about when it was made, though I expect its a later model since it doesnt have the platinum plugs in the sides of the chamber.
I realize its in pretty rough shape with the classic bailing wire wrist repair and other damage, but who knows, maybe with some TLC it could at least become a shooter. Hell, putting these old smoke stacks back to work is half the fun!
