Hi Jack,
Thanks for the extra photos. The gun looks just fine to me, the last 2 digits of the barrel serial look like the die bounced a little, but the halos look correct as does the halo effect on the witness mark. The matching mag looks correct also.
The magazine pouch, as George has said, is Portuguese and not Imperial Navy, and as such is worth a lot less than an original Navy. I don't know what to make of the stock, it's certainly not an original Navy. Is the disc brass or lacquered steel?
I don't know what you paid, but the gun and mag alone are quite valuable.
Regards, Norm
