BSA No1 Mk 111 dated 1908
I have just purchased a BSA No 1 Mk 111 dated 1908. I have been advised that this gun spent most iof its life as a wall hanger at a local boarding school. Gun is all over in mint unmolested factory condition with original barrel and rifling is mint and appears unfired. I'm not sure about the markings on this gun, so some help from a few BSA collectors would be appreciated. I am worried about the large stamp '1610' above the serial number on the action and this same number is on the but (see photos). Looks like its been stamped by a back yarder. I would imagine guns of this vintage still with their original unfired barrels would be rare?. Any help would be appreciated
