Your gun may have a damaged breachblock, so if your thinking of one day shooting it, please have it checked out first.

What are the signs of damage to the breechblock? Definitely don't want a hand grenade.

Is there any way to tell if it was issued to the military? Or how it ended up in England? If I'm reading it right, it was proofed in England in 1955 in Birmingham. Would there be any way to remove the black paint off the gun? Or would that not be worth while since it has the English proof marks on it anyway?
