Means it was imported into Britain, and like all imports, was proofed, usually at Birminham. I have one similar from the '20's, in hi-power also!

A fellow had an engraved 303 on GB for a year or so. It also had British proofs and was down in Texas.
I'm not greedy, I just want one of each.

I have one with British proof marks. Kind of cool knowing its' been around the globe. I found this old post under my old name which has some pictures. Hard to believe about 10 years has gone by.: https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbt...g-1899-c-with-british-proofs#Post3021509

If it was proofed at Birmingham you might find the marks here. It's a link to the Birmingham Proof House. http://gunproof.com/Proofing/proofing.html

Most likely another stamp on the barrel, "Not English Make"!

Yeah recently I let go of a vintage 1940 production Winchester 94 #1227XXX, in 30-30 with London Proof House markings and additional " NOT MADE IN ENGLAND" stamps which had been picked up in the Maritimes. These guns do reappear back here after having been over on the Continent.
