Pete, As you said, it's very hard to see any detail of the proofs in your photos above. If the letter in the circle is an "L" with "flames" above, I agree that it's a Belgian Liege proof. If in fact, the letters inside the circle are "BV" or "BP" with crown above, it's probaby a British Birmingham proof house mark. If so, I would bet that some where on the Navy, your will also find in very small letters "not english made". Tom
