I'm am eclectic combination of Galician, Basque, Asturian and Lionese. But that's too long to say, I guess that Spanish-American is more practical. Now, besides the vino, tortillas and chorizos, I also enjoy Fried Chicken, Pizzas and Apple Pie... Vive la difference! So ![]() |

I'm originally galician, but I have lived in PR for many years, one of many places I have been.
I sincerely believe that when you live in a country, whether you are born there or not, the local culture and mores rub on you, and by virtue of this you become part of that country. So I guess that in that sense, yes , I'm also puertoriqueno, just like I also am a Yankee-Doodle-Dandy, to boot! Cheers : ) M Quote:

Those are DEFINATELY BOTH Birmingham Proof Marks. The one on the left of the pic is the VIEW MARK and the other the DEFINITIVE MARK. I have attached here (and I hope you can read it clearly) a scan of a book page showing both marks. I hope it is of interest. You will note that the London VIEW MARK in use from 1813 is a crowned V.

![]() When i bought this revolver eight years ago, i didn't yet have my Directory of proof marks. I instinctly thaught at the time that, having two marks on the barrel and cylinder, those would be from the two proof houses. I never had a real look to the marks ... something unusual for my character, i should say. Thanks for having corrected me, Stu ![]() Fernando |

A cumbersome process but it at least safeguarded the user to a large degree. Stu |
