And a 10 in a diamond with LO under it

I'm picking the LO under 10 is the year code ?

The rest is pretty obvious to me .
10 gauge BP that has been reproofed for nitro and ( a light ) 1 1/4 oz of shot

Am I on the right track ?

Email or phone the Birmingham proof house, they do sod all for modern gun/riflemaking anyway (glorified rubber stamp) and are paid for by our (UK) taxes and have plenty of time for a yarn.
