Dear Reb- I'm a Brit, and my 1918 DWM was proofed in the Birmingham Proof House to 9.5 tons per square inch, at least, that's what it reads under the barrel. My 1942 byf, which I bought with a proof house certificate since I caught the gunsmith before he sent it off for proof, and arranged for it to get through proof without stamping the metal, is also proofed at 9.5 tons per square inch. Don't know about any others though, since everybody else I know handed theirs in for destruction.
