All the Brit pigeon guns and single traps are proved for 1 1/4 ounces. It was the standard ATA load at the time these single barrel guns were first made. and the standard flyer load to this day. John, I had you pegged for this gun before you told me about it. As far as period of manufacture and rarity goes, the single is probably in the same category as the "bar in iron" late generation hammer pigeon gun. Again, congratulations.
