Thank you much, I was not real clear in my last post. There is a diamond with a 12 and a C on both barrel flats. What choke my this indicate. My first thought was cylinder but not sure. The diamond with a 12 and a C indicates that it is a 12 gauge with choke. The British do not mark the degree of choke, only that there is choke in the barrel.
GREENER, Model Facile Princeps, Grade G, double barrel side-by-side 12 gauge / 2 1/2' shotgun with ejectors, serial number 44878, made in 1896. High-end WW Greener shotguns for sale. Premier, SXS, Side by Side, FH35, Best Ejector #1, Trevle Wedge Fast #2, F16, FH30, FH-50, Percussion Muzzle Loader, 10 Gauge Shotguns, 12 Gauge Shotguns, 16 Gauge Shotguns, 20 Gauge Shotguns, 24 Gauge Shotguns, 28 Gauge Shotguns, 410 Bore Shotguns, Drillings & Combos, Vintage Hammer Guns.
The only way to know the amount of choke is to use a bore gauge to determine the amount of constriction from the bore diameter to the choke diameter. As for the serial number I'll bet the gun is s/n 54422 and the barrel stamps are light on the first '4'. The chance of a guard being engraved different from the barrels by only the second digit would be very small. Assuming the gun is in proof I would still limit my loads to RST 2 1/2' low pressure loads or equivalent reloads. I have a Joseph Lang from 1866 with recent nitro proof and I shoot only RST's and tested low pressure reloads with no component substitutions in it. It might be able to handle current standard ammo but why would I want to take the chance of damage if it can't?
