Update:

I've found the stamp for the Verney Carron. The stamp is two crowns set above "PT", and with a sort of lightning bolt motif below that and translates as "Standard final smokeless re-enforced proof 15646 psi"

The stamps for the Beretta tell me a little less: There I've only found that the gun is good for smokeless powder.

Great link, there, Husqvarna!!

The Nobel Sport cartridges are classed as "Traditional 12G" and "Tradintional 20-16".

I don't think these are firebreathers. It should be OK.
