how old. stronger eons ago imported all types of repros from Europe. Belgium, Italy and spain.
 
I would guess maybe up to 50 years old. It's been proofed here in UK for 3 1/4 drams and 1 1/4 oz ball. It has the number 2 stamped on underside if the barrel. It has BP proof marks on the barrel just in front of the wedding band along with what is legally used as the serial number "123". On the inside of the lock it again has the number 2 stamped on one of the lock parts.Does anyone have similar numbers or markings on their reproductions?
Thanks :thumbsup:

Guilty as charged Sir ! Ancestors served in the 42nd Regiment of Foot The Royal Highland Regiment commonly known as The Black Watch as well as the 25th of Foot The Kings Own Scottish Borderers.
Back in the day the Yes campaigners would have been shot for sedition !
