Is there any knowledge about the stamped markings on the receiver:
-Are the crossed flags Canadian proof marks (Dominion of Canada Proof)?
-What does the number 5 mean?

Some feedback was received that "not English make" and "nitro proofed" are English proof marks. Does this mean that it was "sold out of service" by England after WW1?

All of the markings have been sanded out of the stock and it has been cut short just in front of the band. It can be seen faintly that there were markings on the stock but it is difficult to tell what they could have been. Was the stock work done professionally or by a civilian owner somewhere along the way?

Is there any way to trace any more of the history of this specific rifle?

There are no marks on the underside of the barrel. The barrel does not appear to be shortened.

Thanks!
