Thanks Brett.
I'm not questioning its authenticity - just stating that is the first time I have ever seen machine turning of the barrel breech surfaces.
We sometimes see examples on high condition guns of 'fly cutting' of the breech surfaces of Parker guns. My experience is pretty limited however to Parker guns.
