No British proof marks. I really donâ??t know what this stuff is, but it is tuff. Today, I did my testing on one of the screws. I used paint stripper used to removed epoxy, polyurethane, and paints; it did nothing. I even used an acetylene torch to see if the paint would flake or do something, nothing happened. I am starting to believe that this paint could be the same as that used to paint the tiles on the space shuttle!!! It is glossy too. I wonder if it could be the same paints used on barbeques. Anyway, I will continue to try. I will take a picture of one of the parts so you can see what I am talking about. It is a shame because it is a Mauser Banner 1939 E/L with matching mag. It appears that the gun was in fairly good shape before it was painted.
