    The proof mark is actually an 'armoured arm holding a Seax', and yes - it is one of the London Proof House markings.

    Mine are not the best, but they are not too bad. I can think of lots of Enfields I'd rather have but instead of constantly striving for more, sometimes it's good to be satisfied with what one has...
