"...them being a set..." Doesn't make 'em duelers either. No assumptions involved. Flinters often came in pairs without being duelers. Gave a guy 2 quick shots.
The flintlock duelers I've seen(almost bought a set of for no apparent reason other than being newly commissioned years ago.) had front and rear sights too.
"...where to look..." Under the stock for proof marks.
I wonder if Herr Mahr is the same guy as Mr. Marr but working in London. Anglicizing spelling of names is a fairly common thing.
