    3. Does anyone know that the label on the left is made from? It looks like it was originally an envelope.

    4. Alloy butt plate. Seems like most Ts I have seen have brass.
    1. Common (I think) on BSAs.
    2. They are English Proof Marks not export marks. (We don't have 'em.) London post-1954 but not recent, because we have moved from tons [] Inch to Bar.
    3. It's Reuse of Envelopes label. You close the open envelope with it so that it can be used again. Having said that, because those labels had an "On His (Her) Majesty's Service" device (Where do you think that Ian Fleming got the book title from?) on them, they were commonly used in lieu of Postage Stamps and because they were sticky, they were commonly used as general purpose labels.
    4. Again Common (I think) on BSAs.

    A fabulous looking rifle.
