Wow,
You guys are too much! Thanks for the graphics expertise Doubs!
The thumbnail of the top pic does look poor (I suspect due to the reduction process I used - the originals pics at ~650 kB), but if you click on the link to see the full image, it's a better representation.
Now that I've figured out how to reduce the jpegs and upload the images, I can redo or concentrate on anything that would help (I'm amazed at how poor my close-up photographic skills are ... Devil's Tower looks great with this camera!).
Please let me know if it would help to take more pictures for upload or email.
As per my original note, this gun saw action in WWI, and has been in the family since then. It may have seen use since WWI, but if so I stongly suspect it was limited. I have no idea what the story behind the re-stamped magazine is - anyone who would died at least 50 years ago. However to the best of my knowledge and belief it's still the original finish & condition.
Luke
