So tell me what I have here
It has
BP under Crown
BV under Crown
NP under Crown
1 1/4 which I assume is OZs
Choke
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 ?

It's a Jones Underlever 10 Gauge Hunter and Son's ( Webley made ) single barrel shotgun.
It has a massive frame, most likely a 10 gauge on an 8 gauge frame because it is 2" across the breech face

You have probably found this chart already but anyway...
That's a nice gun.
@norsk Yes I have that oneQuote:

LO could be long. There were a number of lengths of chamber from 3 1/2 down to 2 1/2 inches.
The parallel of the chamber is 3 1/8th long before the forcing coneQuote:

10 is the bore
LO the chamber length
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.Quote:

The 10 is definitely "10 bore"
Usually the other one will be chamber length but I'm not sure what LO stands for. Like others said "Long"?
10ga is usually 3.5" long shell right? Sometimes 3"?
