    1916 enfield with what appears to be a soviet proof mark on it?

    newbie here. can someone help me out here? is this a soviet proof mark? i know it looks more like a circle in the pic but in person it for sure looks like the crescent moon with the hammer or whatever that thing is....any thoughts or has anyone seen this before cause i could not find anything online in about an hour of searching. any help would be greatly appreciated.

    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.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

    It is a London (UK) proof mark of the London proof house a private company. All firearms sold in Britainicon must be proved and marked by one of the 2 proof houses, London or Birmingham.
