Foto Joe..you are right the gun was bought by a Canadian collector in a small town in Washington State I will have to phone him to find out which town. The collector is always up-grading his collection and this one was not in as good shape as others that he has so he sold it to me.
The marks are not the same from one chamber to the next...they are similar but vary quite a bit.
I am starting to think that it may be due to some kind of forging process used when making the cylinder causing uneven rusting...it is not made by a machine and it doesn't look like hand work either.
I will post some more pictures later of the hammer face and a square-on picture of the rear of the cylinder.
