Austrian marked Enfield

[limpetmine]

Willy30 has it pretty much right, from what I've read. Post WWII, the Allied forces supplied the new police forces with arms. I've seen Webley's, No.1's (see attached pics), 1911's, and have heard of M-1 carbines. This example is a plain jane BSA 1918 No.1 but I snagged it because of the Osterr Gendarmer stamp (sp). Another example of this exists on this board, as well!
Mine has no import marks as well, so it arrived prior to 1968. No clue as to how it arrived in the states.

It is interesting that mine is also a 1918 BSA. Mine has no cut off.
