Marking on 1916 DWM LP08

Perhaps some of our British experts can jump in, but my understanding is that the proofing of British guns is officially (or was) the task of a guild like organisation.

I remember reading some stories on the British proofing procedures. Interarms, with it's main warehouse in Manchester, was obliged to use the services of this guild/organization for reproofing military firearms that were commercially sold abroad.
