Belay my comment about this gun not being Nitro Proofed. In my haste and in my focus on the Belgian proof marks on the action and barrels flats I did not initially notice the German Nitro Proof markings on the lower section of the barrel and also on the action flats before I posted above.

Those are lame excuses for my inattentiveness, but I had to make up something.

Raimey will likely be along soon to post some pics I sent him, and offer more detail on the proof marks and other cryptic markings. What a font of expertise. Thank you, Ellenbr!
