    It's the Uk deactivation mark which can only be issued by one of the 2 UKicon proof houses once they have inspected it to make sure that it has been properly deactivated. As it's an older deact it is a UK spec deactivation rather than the current EU/UK spec.

    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. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    Makes sense. Britishicon but not specifically a proof mark. So deactivated in 1951?

    No, the "D" and "A" at each side of the cross swords presumably stands for "Deactivated" and the "11" at the bottom, I assume, is an abbreviation for the year 2011. The cross swords I assume indicate the Birmingham Proof House who checked the deactivation in this instance, before marking the main components and issuing a deactivation certificate to prove that it has been legally deactivated and checked by a proof house. The London Proof House who also do this work have a different mark to differentiate themselves from the Birmingham Proof House.
