    1911 A1 Barrel Brisish Proofed Barrel

    I have a 1911 1A Type 6 barrel. It is Birmingham Proofed. I assumed it is a Lend Lease barrel. It has been suggested the proofs indicate the barrel was released for public sale and has no connection with Lend Lease. Can anyone explain the exact meaning of the proofs in connection with the Lend Lease program and how they connect with the civilian market. I know the literal meaning of the proofs.
    Thanks

    Tom

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.
