markbjones01 Posted September 28, 2013 Report Share Posted September 28, 2013 not an exact science but by process of elimination of your proof marks you should narrow it down a bit heres a link to try http://www.shotguns.se/html/london_marks_in_context.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

triumphant59 Posted September 28, 2013 Report Share Posted September 28, 2013 If its a Master its Spanish, there will be a date code on the barrel flat a single letter followed by *1, let me know what that is and I'll tell you the year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

O1 stamped at the front of the barrel flat on the right barrel is the date code for 1970. To be sure take a good photo of the barrel flats and upload it on here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
