I would not attach any collector interest to the British proofs, and in fact had rather not have them on the pistol. As stated in the original post, they have nothing to do with it's military past. More than likely the pistol was bought by an arms dealer headquartered in England, and the proofs were applied in preparation for putting them on the commercial market.
