My first impression of the crown was of some British/English regimental marking...Especially the "4" underneath...The stylized "S" (if that is what it is) doesn't ring a bell, but I am not familiar with Royal regimental markings, whether English or European...

Maybe something like "Queen's Own Fusiliers, 4th Regiment"...

BTW: I think I read on one of the FN sites that the "w" (or maybe "m") on the trigger guard indicates something relevant also...(But you must already know that!)...

But the engraving is exceptionally well executed and detailed...
