Making sure this is an AW barrel

[green338 2.0]

Hey Peeps, just want to make sure this is an AW barrel, rather than an AE. After reading a couple threads, I believe it's an AW, but just want to make sure.

Thanks

I wonder why it has English proof marks? I would have thought it wouldn't have needed to be proofed if it was going to the States.

"Gun Barrel Proof Act of 1868, which made it an offence to sell, offer for sale, transfer, export or pawn an unproofed firearm, with certain exceptions for military organisations"

Reference: Birmingham Proof House - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (because I can't be bothered to read the actual act.

that one is the London Proof house mark not Birmingham.

Maybe so, but the law is still the same

Gun Barrel Proof Act 1868

This is the actual law. It can either go through Birmingham or London. (or branch houses as applicable.)

That Wiki page was the easiest option originally.

not arguing with any of that, was just clarifying the proof house(the marks are different) for anyone interested. no biggie. proofed is proofed.
