Dwight,
The "Wit-mk" on the breech is struck deeper on the rearward end and the barrel mark is struck very veryÃ?Â*slightly deeper toward the barrel.
This shows best in the upper right photo.
the lower right photo shows the difference as an alignment of the left side of the marks and a slight mis-alignment in the right side that amounts to the difference in the width difference of the two marks.
The appearance of a double strike is an illusion of the lighting and reflections within the slot.
Had I not viewed these marks at "60 X" I would not be so positive.
OT - AS A comment, the lighting problems that you see here are the same illusions that made the Photographs of the high key very contrasting photos made the "Moon Craters" appear to be raised in the center instead of indented until one adjusted their way of thinking of the light directed toward the object.
