I have heard, but not tried to take a candle and smoke the proof marks. Use scotch tape, apply to the marks and then lift the tape and apply it to paper. The proofs should be easier to read

I want a 16g double something bad. I can't find anything less than 2500 though so it is going to have to wait.
You mean one with hammers or any 16g double?

Any 16 double, I don't want one with hammers. I want something I can hunt with.

I have an old 16g Fox BST that I believe was my grandfathers. Had no idea it may be worth a few dollars.

Do the barrels look like this ? If so they are Damascus and should only be shot with low pressure shells.
Otherwise this happens

Probably the Stage Coach I think. I have one, walked into a gun shop, saw it and asked to see it. The guy said "shite", grabbed it, unloaded it and handed it over. Was his WSHTF weapon.
I was a regular, he knew I was going to buy it. Fun to shoot both barrels at the same time. It'll move some stuff.

It’s definitely not Damascus

Take it to a gunsmith to check out is what I would do.

I wouldn’t.
I have 2 LC Smiths.
1 with hammers from 1914.
1 hammerless from 1921.
These old shotguns weren’t made for modern loads.
If you decide to shoot, go light and be careful.

There's a company out there, can't recall the name, that sells Damascus-safe shells. Wickowick probably knows it.
