Roy Vail's double guns were usually built on European guns. The proof marks will tell the tale. Good pictures of the water table and barrel flats will help. Early Gun Digests picture his guns in the engraving section, but don't give much detail about their origin. Vail was largely an engraver, with other related talents. Look him up in the Double Gun Journal index.
