W & C Scott

Hi,
I have recently acquired a W & C Scott SXS Ser # 61606 and would like to know when it was made. It has the crossed swords Birmingham date of proof
mark and the date may be 30 (1930) but I am uncertain of the 3. It is stamped Nitro Proof. Does anyone know if this ser. # could be as late as 1930?
Regards

Preston:
The number chart in Nigel Brown's British Gunmakers place that gun between 1899 and 1900. So, probably made in 1899.

Looks like 1899 according to my WC Scott book, by JA Crawford.

Thanks for the info. I am doing some restoration work and will post pictures as soon as I
have the gun back together.
