A .54 Gardner or a .52 Cal Sharps?

I found this yesterday and some say it's a .54 Gardner while my buddy seven's first thought was .52 Cal sharps.

Its a .54 Gardner

Base tells the story, as you can see where the skirt was pressed into it. ALso (almost) all Sharps were solid base.

I agree, you definitely have a Gardner. But that is better than a Sharps.
