Far from that, Richmond,

They stamped those barrels clearly visible: on top, and right next to the original 400 year-old proof and smiths' marks ...

That's what I call a cruel thing to do.

Btw, you might have missed an addition I made editing my post:

Actually getting it ignited was not exactly easy because of the thick barrel walls; I had to fill priming powder into the touch hole until it was literally flowing over!
