Hi Norman,
Nice piece, with a nice barrel

But i will not say much, as you might get excited and try to shoot it

.
Bands in low silver are an added value, i would say.
The brass disk with the marks is also a valuable detail; i love marks

.
If you figure out what those initials and number mean ... arsenal, regimental or even (British) inventory, let us know.
Ward and other connoisseurs can have a say about this example
