Thanks Jay. The revolver does in fact have a small star on the barrel about 1/4 inch in front af frame. You have been a great help especially as it proves calibre amnd will satisfy our licencing authorities. I didn't know about a London Office.

Two points here. If I owned a 'section 58/2' Antique weapon and had it entered on my firearm certificate here in the UK so that I could leagaly shoot it and then decided not to shoot it I could get it removed from my certificate and posess it as an antique.

Good luck.
