Hi
Did you clean gently the stamps, is it gold or brass inside?
I think that you have a very good barrel.

I assume that the query is about the second gun that I've included in the thread, I have been careful not to over clean the markings on this one. I hope to have a good look at them soon.
Mel.

UPDATE

I've cleaned out the recesses with a stiff toothbrush and am sorry to report that any precious metal that may have been inserted by the original smith has gone a long time since. I've included a picture of the muzzle, I don't know if it shows in the picture but the barrel has a definite twist forging pattern .
The length of the barrel is 47 inches (120 cm).
