The HV mark indicates it is sighted for the MkVII "high velocity" rounds. Not having the mark just means the sights will be a little out in the range scale. Go ahead and enjoy- :thup: just remember the range report and pics :cheers:
Attachment 14967Did you check your front sight to see if it is one of the barleycorn variations ? if you BSA 1909 is without the HV or SC markings on the barrel, you might have the early front sight.

Correction - Mark 111 rifles never had the barleycorn front sight
