Peppy, you will have to remove the barrels from the stock to see more. On the forearm is a fitting. It is a barrel wedge that is pushed (only one way! looks like left to right in your photos) to release the barrels. Look at it closely and you will be able to detirmine which way to push it. Use a small peice of wood and some light tapping with a smal hammer. It should only go about half way to one side.

Then using your hands to hold the stock/action in an upright position (like you were holding it to shoot from your waist) and a pillow on a table to cushion the barrels, strike the barrels downward on the pillow. This should break the barrels loose. Be careful! Guard against the barrels flying off. Once loose the barrels will come off, they are hooked into the action at the breech-end.

The markings (proofmarks) if any will be on the underside of the barrels. If need be you can highlight the marks with typing "whiteout" to assist in clarity in pictures.
