Some folks here say that within a certain serial number range there are no King (either father or son) stamped on the flats. What is the approximate serial number of your gun?
I believe the 2 and superscript 15 on the flat of the right barrel indicate the pre-striking weight of the barrels.
NP with the arm and sword above is the Nitro Proof stamp.
65MM is the chamber length.
20 in the diamond is the gauge.
The stamps with the crowns above are Final proof stamps
I don't recognize any proof tonnage - others will fill in the blanks I have left.
