What can you tell me about...

[KarlJ]

Can we see a close up of the butt marking discs?

The marker disk on the BSA is a repro from IMA-US. The one on the Enfield is blank. What's the 273 for?

Has been sold Commercially in the UK - London Proof marks.

What proof shows it was sold commercially in the UK?

Picture 8 - is it a 'star' marking ?
A star normally means rusty / corroded bore

It is a star... It's like the star on the back of the magazine. The bore looks great... shiny with good lands and grooves.

Picture Five - the markings on the knox form. An Armed (armoured) Arm holding a Seax or a Scimitar (I don't know which it is) - it should have the letters NP just under it but I can't see from the photo, the 18.5 tons , the calbre markings. They are London Nitro Proof Marks.

It is an offence to sell a firearm in the UK that does not bear the proof mark of one of the Proof Houses - London or Birmingham.

Thank you for the info.... I have a No5 that has similar proofs (BNP). I didn't know it meant it was sold commercially in the UK. I thought it was part of the pre-68 import marks.
