There are another couple of variants that you might come across. BL 74 = Belgium Liege for our Browning pistols and UA 85 for the Accuracy International rifles
There is also a little known serial number sequence commencing SA....., such as SA82 A1234. You see these on weapons where the original serial number has been lost or obliterated. Good examples were Fazakerley weapons where the numner was 'engraved' using a 'scratchy pen' and was soon lost after a haldf decent bout o bead blasting and painting. Fazakerley made Sterling L2A3's were a good - or bad - example.
