Thanks for the info Alvin, I have yet to have the pleasure of owning a British marked/proofed firearm, hopefully someday I will add one to my collection.

Thanks to you too Ed, I imagine to a collector such as yourself you must have walked away in disgust, I know I would have. When a nice collectible firearm, a piece of history actually, has been mistreated that way it is now nothing more then a paperweight, what a shame.
