There is an excellent article on Ogden, Smith, & Hussey in a DGJ article but I am 1600miles away from my reference material. Your gun has been proved in 1993 as stated but that only attest to its strength on the day of proof testing. Metal fatigues after so many cycles, hours, or applications and the barrels on that gun are marginal NOW. The barrels look reblued to me as the breech looks to be below the fences and if a dent had been raised that may account for the .012 wall thickness. 16.0 MM = .6299 inches
