Commercial SMLE - 18126

[dinosaur1]

Hi folks, I’ve bagged this rifle for next to nothing at auction. It’s not in my hands yet but I wanted to try and find a little more out about it. It was (supposedly) made in 1915?? It has a U /|\ stamp so I’m guessing it’s spent some of its life in South Africa. The commercial proof marks intrigue me, I’d love to know it’s story. Thanks for reading!

PS - sorry for the lack of photos at the moment it is all I’ve got to go on right now.
