First off this is my first English gun and my only concern was/is that it is in proof. However curiosity got the best of me and I tried to decipher the proof marks and all it did was confuse me. BTW, the heavy, and to me original proof stamp is NP over 17 after that all bets are off. This is an early gun so the original barrels were most likely Damascus. It has the early ejector system but works very well.
