Canadian Marks on S&W .455 HE MK II

[Lee Enfield]

That inspectors marking shows on Brit, Canadian and Private Purchase S&W revolvers. The last 2nd model Hand Ejectors up to 71,000+ range (1917) exhibit it.

I believe that it was probably the accepting officer based at Remington.

Early 2nd models will often have DCP Canadian Inspector markings - on Brit guns - supposedly early in the war the Canadian inspectors were authorized to inspect Brit contract arms.

That is why Remington and Winchest .44-40 rifles have Canadian DCP proof markings.
