The gun was first proofed in April 1903. The bore gauge of 118.35 is very common for the 9.3 x 72 R. Then, the gun was reproofed in Dec. 1927 (I think that's a 27...). That's what the "Crown R" proof means (reproof). The "9 mm" marking was probably applied at that time. Regardless, based on these markings, there's no way it is chambered for 30-30.
