On the Purdey examples I have it is only the company name which is engraved onto the ring and the rifle serial number is engraved on the tube.
The only real way to determine which mounts were originally installed is by the spacing of the rings and seller (who posts on here) believes it to be from a Purdey rifle.
Cheers,
Simon.
P.S. Yes it is 3rd Pattern. Following the introduction of the 4th Pattern some 3rd were retro-fitted with a prism cell.Information
