    Actually those are peening scars, someone in an alcoholic haze I'm sure, just had to hit it with a hammer. Mayhaps he had a stuck ball😅

    This is a photo of the muzzle . What do you think? I'm having a hard time guessing at a caliber with seven sides what is the measuring parameters ? The best I get is 11mm I have only seen one photo of a muzzle with the stars and dots and now can't find that. Is this really a Whitworth? More...
