Very cool. I'd love to know how a gun made in 1904 made it over to England to be proofed in 1963.
It looks like the silver inlay on the stock has a very faint "Winston Churchill" engraved.....ha ha .. kidding. If these old guns could only talk.
I load 12.9gr of Green Dot behind 3/4oz of 7 1/2s that is listed for 8700 PSI so I should be good to go.
