Proof marks

I have a Browning 3 bbl set that belonged to a USA Skeet team member with Bob Rodale that has cylinder chokes and the bbls are marked with ***. Just a bit of FYI.

Tom, Bob Rodale is a voice from the past. I won my first and only Silver Medal in International (Olympic) skeet at a Bob Rodale memorial shoot a few years ago. Well, maybe more than a few. Who was the owner of your Browning?

Clint Swingle. I ended up with his guns. He was a good friend and rarely missed a grouse if he could see it.(sometimes, I swear, got them when he couldn't) I used to shoot for him at the Retriever trials. Bob was a good friend as well, and died way too soon. Problem with being in my 79th year, is that I have outlived nearly all of my close friends and mentors. Getting Old Sux, so I am going to hit the Century mark, that'll teach'em.
