Hi, I have an interesting BSA No1 Mk3 that was used for the Queens prize shoot at Bisley, as you can see from the photos it was regulated by Fulton and has a ball burnished barrel, parker-hale sights and full bedded in cork (note extra barrel band at the front) and stock ajustment screws in the receiver. It is only marked BSA on the wrist band a commercially sold rifle I guess.

It has the examiners mark of “Harry” Hardwick (a crown with D6 over E) from Holland & Holland famed for the No4 T snipers.

My question is how did this rifle ended up with a Holland & Holland examiners mark, when it was made at BSA and regulated by Fulton. Any Ideas?
